I'm sure they got out their tape measure to insure that they were within the law.
And I agree that they are just as antibicycle as before but now they have a fig leaf covering their shame. Personally, I still won't be riding there
The intention of the law is a parallel path within 450 feet to the road that is off limits. Black Hawk has not met this intent, regardless of how they would like to twist things.
What will save the city is that another law suit is not worth the effort compared to just cycling the less than legal alternate path.
