Kasey,

Please review Lt. Williams’ response and opinion. I agree with him. Pay particular attention to his thoughts in yellow. I never thought about that when I first read the strike throughs. Thanks

My only concern is someone like ***** who expects us to measure 4 feet or less on all vehicles passing a bicyclist. Also, if you take Washington Street for example, at four feet you will be forced to cross the double yellow line in the opposing lane. I think the words safe and reasonable are better than an actual distance.

Under 17C-11-5, taking the “a” and “c” out, undercut safety for cyclist in my opinion.

Chief Webster, would you be able to offer me your opinion on a proposed state law requiring motorists to pass cyclists at a four foot distance. My new nonprofit is behind this legislation. We would be willing to drop the four to three.

I would love to hear your perspective.

Thanks, kasey

Kasey,

Here is the draft 2 of the bill. Can you look it over too?

Thanks
