i really had to search for the particular section so I'll pull it for those interested:

Lyons Village Switchbacks:
A crash was reported here on Bike to Work Day. David Goodman said he has investigated the use of a high friction coating for the switchback. The coating is already being used by the County at some bus stops including the bus stop on Clarendon Ave. in front of the County Offices. The major purpose of the coating is color for the bus stops. The high friction coating gets pounded into the road by traffic, losing its high friction property. This would not be a problem on the Trail where the only traffic is bicycles and pedestrians. The cost for the installation would be $15,000 to $18,000, but the County does not have the money for the project. BAC members thought this was short sighted since it is only a matter of time before an injured rider sues the County. Not putting down the high friction coating appears to increase the County's liability. County staff will investigate getting bicycle safety funds for the project. Allen Muchnick asked members to report accidents at the switchback to websites which keep records of accidents.
