No Bridge Crossing
This press release just arrived in my inbox from the City of Roanoke:
ROANOKE, VA - The City of Roanoke will post signs on the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Bridge prohibiting skateboard and bicycle riding across the bridge. However, bicycles may be walked across the bridge in the same way that the city allows them to be walked across the Market Square Walkway (pedestrian bridge). The signs are being posted as an effort to minimize activities that have detracted from the appearance of the bridge. This decision was made in order to enable the city to properly care for and preserve the appearance of this important community landmark.
Guess I'll have some rework to do on the Clean Commute Day bike routes, many of which utilize the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Bridge and the Railwalk.
