The Bicycle League of Norman voted in their June monthly meeting to 'adopt' the Creekside park. • Legacy Trail Eco-counter disposition: no movement detected • Mr. Jack Dawson wished to express some concerns and opinions he had regarding the bike lanes in Norman. Paraphrasing his statements: He stated that he “hated’ the new green bike lanes. He believes that the bicycle lanes should be wider. He stated there should be no green path/coating demarcation as he feels this creates a more unsafe situation between vehicles and cyclists. He mentioned concerns about the white lines marking the shoulders of U.S. Route 77 in Cleveland County that he thought were part of the City of Norman bike lane system and it was explained this was not the case. • City of Norman Updates: • Angelo Lombardo Norman Transportation initiatives: Mr. Angelo Lombardo informed the BAC that the July meeting was most likely his last as he was retiring. • He did report the City Staff had been contacted with a citizen’s concern that the rumble strips found in some part of the City presented an unsafe riding condition.
