Here's a link to the hot-spots the City is concerned with:

I think you'll agree that the empty road next to the llama ranch, featuring a stop-sign for a driveway, is probably more of a revenue trap than a public-safety related item.
I've done this ride since I started cycling and we go through that town after 7pm or so on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We roll two-abreast on the first half of that area, single-file on the second half and we do it out of courtesy. The reality of this deal is that complaints about two groups of 15-25 cyclists going through the bustling metropolis adjacent to the llama farm are probably not real problems. A pack of cyclists stopping at a stop-sign and then rolling through is neither a safety concern nor an inconvenience. The city would probably have fewer complaints about cyclists if they'd start moving trash-cans out of the road. I should also note that we go about 30mph through here, which is the speed limit, so we are virtually no inconvenience to cars.
These are not real problems. Rather than tell people who live there to leave the cyclists alone and to check their attitude, the police decided to ruin Tuesdays and Thursdays for a bunch of cyclists any way possible. Cities across America are embracing cycling, the City of Parker doesn't want a bunch of people riding $5-10k bicycles adding to the tax base and they will continue to see Allen and Plano rise to the occasion and embrace it.
Also, please ticket me for failure to ID. I would love to bring a civil rights lawsuit against the city.
