Faribault Council Member Wants Bikes on Downtown Sidewalks
The Faribault City Council Ad Hoc Committee concerning On-Street Bicycle Routes discussed a few issues earlier this week at City Hall.  Council Member Janna Viscomi asked about allowing bikes on downtown sidewalks.  She said recently she was nearly wiped out by a vehicle backing out of a parking space on Central Avenue.
Viscomi says there is no space on the street for a bike, A hundred percent.  I can t believe nobody s been killed to be honest with you.  I was almost taken out in a second.  So it s just something to consider.  If there s some kind of terminology that we can put where it still allows bicyclists on the sidewalk for safety, but they re not smoking people has they re coming out of a door.  That was always the concern because kids are just flying.  But if we can keep them safe and keep people walking safe, we re going to have to share that space.  It s just too nuts down here. ....
