Prove.Me.Wrong. Until then...bask.

No, the burden of proof is on you.

You may be right, I don't know. But I'm pretty sure you don't know either.

From a vehicular point of view, I wonder about the intersections, specifically at Johnston Street. I hate to say this, but this is one intersection that I think that a Reflex camera should be put in. As it is today, if you are in the left lane (on St Mary heading towards campus) chances are you will be held up by some ya-who trying to make a left turn onto Johnston, despite this being illegal for most of the day, M-F. I can only imagine the back log of traffic if the WHOLE lane has to wait for the same thing.

We don't need reflex cameras anywhere...what we have always needed is someone to contract out Mad Max type road crews that hunt people who don't know how to drive and get them off the road. Jacked up truck with a 5 foot tall man inside and bull nuts hanging from the trailer hitch...overturned in a ditch on fire after a dune buggy with assless chapp leather clad psychos are done with him. Stupid sorority girl texting in her honda civic with idiotic window chalk driving into other peoples lanes...once the Mad Max guys are done with her she will need a stay in Pineville. The person who cannot spare a second to look while changing lanes cause they are talking on their cell phone...EXTERMINATED!!! That big old Buick hooptie with the guy sitting so far back in the seat no one can even see him, with his trunk rattling like there is a wild board stuck inside...let's see how cool he is when a machete comes crashing through his roof as he is randomly over taken and sent careening into a vacant lot where unspeakable things are done to him for his crime against humanity.

They go in...they kill...no more talk. It shouldn't take too much money to get this thing started. Get with me and we can start this thing on the ground floor. It would sweep the country like wild fire. All the _______s on the road...vanquished. Think of how good everyone will drive knowing that if they ____ up...they will be sent to Barter Town. And we all know who runs Barter Town. This is such a good idea...who's with me?

That's a little serious ya think hawk? Why not just allow the 5 foot squirt and the olds guy tho get the Bret Baer Rho-Sham-Bo treatment until they swell up to the size of the hangers off the jacked up truck? Sororities chick situation and phones, install in all vehicles a jamming device so phones don't work unless car is in the park or you have your hands free Bluetooth installed to make calls...... Just my .02

Sorry, but I lean much more toward 'hawk on this one.

I'm down with making campus more bike friendly. However, cyclists are not as innocent as they claim. I RARELY observed cyclists obeying traffic laws. I spent plenty of time on campus as a student then again as an employee, altogether nearly 10 years. I once witnessed a kid get smoked at St. Mary and Girard...kid tried to cross the street (ran the light) and was laid out. Guess what? The cyclist got the ticket.

I'm not completely blaming the bikers here because it's not their fault the roads in this town are largely not bike friendly. What I am saying is that the bikers need to be taught proper bike etiquette. This could/should be done in orientation and/or in UNIV 100.

That has been my experience as well. I have no problems with the cyclists and in fact was a member of a club in my younger years. But as a group, they are much more aggressive and reckless.....No different then auto drivers in that manner.

Ight, well they do put the fear of god in ya if he does that machete drill you were talking. I was just looking into a way to get Bret Baer some reps on his leg to stay warm for when Benson and Loomis get rid of Heartly.
