Lost at Found

Last evening I ran into ron_newman on Elm Street in front of Found, the new high-end consignment store. I had missed the post here about it a few weeks ago, so it was news to me, and we went in. It was about 2 minutes until closing time so we only got a quick peek. Being a size 14/16, I asked on my way out if they carried plus-sized clothing for women.*

Recent bike path "improvements"

[billharnois.livejournal.com]

Is anyone else annoyed at the recent attempt to improve the bike path/Rite Aid situation? I was really excited that they were going to finally resolve the issue of bikers/walkers spilling into the Rite Aid parking lot. It was weird the way the bike path would just lead people into the parking lot, and most people would have no idea where to find the continued path on the other side of Davis.

I feel like they really had an opportunity to solve this problem. But instead they solved nothing. They made a new mini-path that curves around the parking lot. But is like a foot too thin, and not really wide enough for bikes or a line divider. If they just planned a little better, and made it about a foot wider, they could have had one continuous community path all the way to Davis.

Most people aren't even using the new mini-path. I'm just frustrated that they spent a ton of money on a situation where they could have really improved the flow of the bike path into Davis, and instead they really solved nothing.
