Bikers, joggers should stay off main alternate routes
The I-64/Hwy 40 reconstruction has created a dangerous situation for joggers and bikers who have long utilized many of St. Louis County’s secondary streets. Joggers/bikers are putting themselves (and drivers) at risk by using these now overly populated side streets. I appeal to MoDot and media outlets to encourage bikers/joggers to find safer areas to get their exercise. Side streets such as Clayton, Litzsinger, Warson, Spoede and Conway have often attracted bikers and joggers. Drivers familiar with these areas have learned to share the road. However, the highway closures have brought many new motorists to these streets.The additional motorists, many of them less than familiar with the danger spots along their new routes, are coming precariously close to injuring defenseless bikers/joggers. This is a fatality waiting to happen. Until Hwy. 40 reopens, I think it is in everyone’s best interest to encourage bikers and joggers to find suitable, safer alternatives. Bill BurtonBrentwood
Fred, allow me to rip you apart now.
If all you can do is take what I say out of context and add in what you might think are some sort of witty replies to delude yourself even further then I do seriously think all that exhaust you breathe in is affecting your critical thinking skills. My grammer skills or your lack of apparent perception that I was speaking in general terms really are not the issue. You obviously are very pretentious thinking that you don’t somehow contribute as much in overseas profits as other people just becuase you buy less gas. I would bet my salary against yours that just about everything on that bike and the clothes you wear when riding it, arn’t exactly domestic. I’m sure you make up for it in other areas as well. I do hope you come back to play.
