I thought I'd start a post where we can keep a running list of problem cycling areas around Grand Junction. After everyone brainstorms and adds, we can summarize, prioritize and discuss with the City:
1. Intersection of 1st St, Grand Ave, Hwy. 340, Hwy 6 and 50. In particular, the stretch of Grand just west of the intersection. Very narrow, no bike lanes. I'd like to see 8 feet come off that stretch of grass, and bike lanes installed to connect with the wide shoulder that goes over the railroad bridge, and down to the bike path just past City Shops.
Please submit your suggestions and comments and report problems with bike lanes, bike paths, missing signs, etc to www.gjcity.org
