Description

Now that Yale is back in session the number of bikers riding on sidewalks has become a problem again. Bikes do not belong on sidewalks. This can be witnessed at just about any time during the daylight hours and evenings. Additionally, bikes are not following traffic rules in the area - riding the wrong way on one way streets, not adhering to traffic signals, standing in pedestrian crosswalks, etc.

The city needs to start ticketing these individuals. It's already dangerous enough in this city for walking pedestrians with the motor vehicle traffic. Bikes on sidewalks and not following traffic rules make it even worse.
