For anyone who recognizes my name, Joseph Boyle, you probably already know I have an opinion on each and every subject.
OPINION: “Drive, walk, bike, or roll near State Route 512?” I say this is a genius move with one caveat.
CAVEAT: As a retired car-ped (vehicle-pedestrian) injury, and fatality investigator, please create plenty of separation and or an impenetrable barrier between the “DRIVE” & the “WALK, BIKE, or ROLL” to provide freedom, recreation, adventure, and public safety on SR 512.
I could say more such as discussing the mechanics of the magnetic DUI victim target phenomenon, but suffice it to say, “SEPARATION AND OR AN IMPENETRABLE BARRIER” is what is needed to make this genius idea successful.
