in that case, you're gonna have to come find me and give me a ticket then. i've been doing my little sidewalk shortcut to get to the MUP trailhead for a couple years now. CPD doesn't seem to give a single flying $h!t.

that would be groovy with me. if the city were to put in a contra-flow bike lane on the one-way street in question, i'd gladly ride it, but until that happens......

it's not that i'm not comfortable riding on the street in question, it's just one-way the wrong way to get to the the MUP trailhead, and there's a perfectly good, almost never used sidewalk just sitting right there, so..........

LOL! walk my bike? on a sidewalk that goes past a sewage pumping station that almost never has anyone on it? for 700 feet? yeah, i'm never going to do that.
as i stated earlier, on the rare occasion that i do encounter someone on that short stretch of sidewalk, i slow WAY down, and even pass people on the grass if i'm rolling behind them.

i agree, but until the city recognizes how asinine it is to have a one-way street lead to the trailhead of an MUP, i'll be happily riding on that stretch of sidewalk!
feel free to come and ticket me anytime
