Mandates...mandates....only good when ramifications happen when they are not followed, and I don't mean people getting hit on bikes. I MEAN PEOPLE GOING TO JAIL!!! We too have the same problems.

Great job!!!

I wouldn't ride a bike anywhere in this town, or cross a street, these drivers are nuts!!! No pedestrians and cyclists are safe

I always do!

So cars need to move into on coming traffic It’s only 2 lanes

I wish bikers would ride single file, though; they'd be safer doing just that.

Need to also include language for not riding two or three deep on the shoulder.

Bravo 👏

There should be a separate bike road several feet to the side of the road, about the distance as the sign.
