Serious question - are you a biker, and have you biked in a city, and with kids?  This isn't something you can really understand that well if you haven't spend hours and hours navigating DC and analyzing the ways to stay crash-free.  To begin with -- there is a HUGE difference between that particular crosswalk, and a signalized crosswalk in say a residential neighborhood, or even downtown where car traffic knows to look out for pedestrians and bikes.  And second, there's a HUGE difference between being right next to your kid (walking or on a bike) and being on the sidewalk while they are in the middle of the intersection.

I'm being annoyingly persistent on this thread because I think it's incumbent on every single biker to understand how to perceive hazards on the road and avoid them.  ESPECIALLY WITH KIDS.  [/quote]

You're basically saying that it's not safe for a kid to cross at that trail crossing.

Well, now MD SHA agrees with you. And they've put in a temporary solution, until the bridge gets built. Good for them. Even better would be if they'd done it right in the first place. Maybe next time they will.[/quote]
