In response to the praise of 6th st. bike path, We need to find a way to
get more people to use the bike path. Everytime I walk down the northside
of the street, I am passed by several people on bikes on the sidewalk. Of
course I have to move out of their way. Are there any suggestions out
there as to how get people to use the path?
