Its not that simple, and you know it. But it is a start. On second thought, the start would be to notify your councilman of how you feel. He should know that one complaint equals 100.

It's not if he's trying to keep up with traffic with a speed limit of 30mph and the law needs to account for that.
If the law states a $500 fine for going over 15mph, and you feel that's not justified on bike trails, bike lanes or MUPs, then one has to be proactive towards repealing or modifying that law with respect to pedestrian safety.
My opinion is that 15mph (24km/hr) is pretty fast on a mup and bike lane. I'm usually 6mph (10 km/hr) on those.
Actually, it depends on the conditions: If its two miles of straight path and you're the only one on it then nobody cares how fast you're going.
