I, for one, think that plowed bike paths are a benefit to the community.
This site hosts discussions and articles on everything ped/bike. The committee will post information on bicycle safety, Safe Routes to School, Rules of the Road, pedestrian access for the disabled, public transportation, the future of pedestrians and bicycles in Coeur d'Alene, and upcoming issues. The site also has links to many sites related to ped/bike issues. Feel free to post comments, questions or suggestions about Coeur d'Alene's pedestrian and bicycle facilities here.
I'm glad the paths are plowed also. Let's remember that they are not just "bike" paths, but pedestrian paths also. I ride to work most mornings, and I still see joggers and walkers every morning. If the paths weren't plowed, everyone would be pushed onto the street. Not a safe option for anyone. A big thanks to Monte for keeping the paths clear!
