I rode the BBX last Sunday. This calling up of the Waller deputies left many intersections unmanned that were normally have officers controlling traffic. The officers writing tickets were generally watching stop signs and roads on the additional loop for 55 and 75 routes. I did see a patrol car near the end that kept moving around, but no stop signs in that area.

Complaints were multiple riders riding abreast, not stopping for stop signs where no officer present, littering along the roads, riders using the roadside as their restroom. Many of these complaints were not at the BBX specifically, but all cyclist in that area in general.

The MS Society has already meet with Waller county officials. On Sat there was a recommended ride and Ready2Roll rides in Waller. No other issues have been reported after those rides. The weather may have reduced riders for these riders, so who knows where this situation really is. I am betting Waller leadership does not want the MS and cycling groups to pull their events and the related monies despite what some unhappy residences are complaining about.
