Just a quick question, as if there is such a thing on the internet, about the law. It is a pretty well established practice for communities to ban cars, buses, etc from certain areas in towns and cities. Sometimes this is for congestion reasons and sometimes because they want the environment to change. If communities have the right to ban those types of vehicles why don't they have the right to ban another type of vehicle, the bicycle?

From what has been posted that seems to be the legal crux of the matter; does Blackhawk have the legal right to do what they did?

Whether that makes people who can't vote for the city council happy or not seems to be an ancilliary issue.

Any motive other than gathering information is the reader's inference, not the posters implication.
