Though some may deride it as merely symbolic or unneccessary, 'feel-good' legislation, it is important for lawmakers to take a stand regarding texting while driving.<br /><br />Hopefully, the hefty fine will make more people think twice about texting behind the wheel. Another solution is ZoomSafer, which automatically locks your phone's keypad so you can't text or email. Best of all, it's free at www.zoomsafer.com - much cheaper reason to stop texting while driving than learning the hard way with a $50 ticket, or worse, a nasty accident.Ellojhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135752489223861430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143591437599331659.post-48733785003984651132009-12-03T07:53:45.796-05:002009-12-03T07:53:45.796-05:00When you are driving the only work you have is dri...When you are driving the only work you have is driving.

While commuting at the end of the past week I could see the crews clearing brush directly on the old rail bed. I should have taken a picture, maybe later this week. I have one pic taken at the intersection of Isaac Pl and Martinsville Rd that shows the trail heading south from Martinsville. I will need to do a little further exploration this week to get some better shots for the blogs.Grendelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14838976502745469508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143591437599331659.post-46598883509629372552009-08-30T00:03:05.634-04:002009-08-30T00:03:05.634-04:00Hey Michael,
The thing about the Battleground Rai...Hey Michael,<br /><br />The thing about the Battleground Rail Trail is that it has been SO long in the making that most of the folks who were really excited about it when the project was first proposed have long since written it off as a lost cause. If I'm not mistaken, it's been close to 20 years. I worked in the GDOT planning division for almost 5 years, and its been 3.5 years since I left, and the project was already old when I started with GDOT.<br /><br />Also, the BRT, as it's sometimes called (not to be confused with Bus Rapid Transit) has since been upstaged by the Downtown Greenway, which broke ground this past Spring, and has already completed the first segment from South Eugene Street to West Lee Street. In fact, a long segment of what was originally to be an extension of the BRT has now been rolled into the Downtown Greenway, to form its western leg, from Spring Garden Street to the vicinity of Hill Street and Battleground Avenue.<br /><br />A third issue with the BRT is the fact that the segment between Markland Drive (the southern terminus of the segment that's now under construction) and Spring Garden Sreet, may never get built. The problem is that the rail line is still active in that segment. It only sees a few trains per month, but as long as the sole remaining customer on that spur (Chandler Concrete) is still in business and hasn't found a suitable new site to relocate to, Norfolk Southern will not abandon the right of way.<br /><br />So yes, we're all glad to see that the BRT has finally broken ground (it's expected to be complete by Spring), and it will make bicycling in that area a lot more pleasant for a lot of people, but the project-delivery part of this story is a bit frustrating. Anyway, contact GDOT for more information!<br /><br />Jeff SovichJeff Sovichhttp://www.bikegso.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143591437599331659.post-16858483588377962052009-07-29T21:31:45.247-04:002009-07-29T21:31:45.247-04:00You need to come down here and try some of the lun...You need to come down here and try some of the lung busters we have around here.

This is something that will always haunt her. No where in any of the reports does it show that she was speeding or doing wrong. Everything shows that he came in to the road and that there are tire marks that show she tried to stop. I know that many of you bicyclist automatically side with him; but there are to sides. So don't bash her no one here knows the full story. Think of both sides anyone of us could have had this happen.

Regardless if there is "adequate" shoulder width or not, why is a cyclist traveling on a road made for vehicular transportation, only? This is what literally pisses off the majority of us law abiding commuters; the negligence of the cycling community. I completely understand that people enjoy cycling and do so as a hobby, but there are designated areas and roads for this hobby. Apparently these locations must be "secret" to the cyclist community, because I constantly see 1,2...20 cyclist pedaling away like they were Lance Armstong himself, 3 abreast, on some blind spot littered winding back road. I dont mind sharing the road, but this whole "share" concept needs to be adapted by cyclists as well.
