Bollard and sidepath
|
|
|
|
The path enters the Lafayette Campground parking lot area on a sidewalk directly adjacent to parallel parking spaces, where cyclists can collide with the opening doors of motor vehicles or with passengers alighting from them. Note also the bollard -- this one has been extended by bolting on wooden planks subsequent to original installation, probably so it is still visible in winter. This bollard is pointless as well as hazardous; a motorist intending to drive on the path could drive up over the grassy area to the left. Notice also the blind entrance to the hiking trail on the right where a small child could run out onto the bike path too quickly for a bicyclist to avoid. John Allen photo, 2001, looking south.
