Description

Please replace warning signs at the railroad trussell location on the Aldridge Creek Greenway (1/2 mile from Ditto Landing entrance). Today, I came across a bicyclist who slid on a mud covered section at this trussell. He hit his head on the concrete wall as his bike went down. I noticed a gash on his helmet. He said the helmet probably saved his life. I attended to him (he couldn’t get up from the muddy concrete). Later, a friend or son took him to the ER.
The photo attached doesn’t show the mud because the COH must have gotten word of the accident and cleaned the greenway before I took this picture later that afternoon.

There are no warning signs at this blind spot of possible muddy conditions. There is 1 small sign “5 MPH” on a post that I think was installed after the accident. All other posts in this section have had their signs removed by vandals.
Because this greenway section is covered by the creek during various times of the year (less than 10), I am requesting the COH to review this safety issue and any other safety issues that can be addressed when the greenway becomes muddy and presents a very hazardous situation to the public.

Thank you.
