home again home again, jiggity jig

PostDateIcon September 13th, 2004

Had a great ride home, a little windy just south of downtown, but not bad.

Speaking of downtown, there was a crew of men working on the road at Court Street and Pearl. Apparently Court Street was resurfaced in the past week or so, so they were putting stripes down at the intersection. I’ve known for a while that a lot of crosswalk and other stripes aren’t painted on, but I’d never seen them apply the stripes until today. They use a lot of really stinky glue, and they roll out the white plastic stripe material and then press it down into the glue on the road.

  • New Orleans bike taxis could get City Council OK
    I'm going to write a note to these people to ask for a copy of the draft legislation mentioned in the article. I hope the legislation passes, because it will help keep bike taxis (AKA pedicabs) on the street in other cities. Who knows, it could even encourage people to PUT bike taxis on their streets. New Orleans pedicabs could get City Council OK By Br […]
