Forgot to upload a picture/other thing yesterday. Anyway, if you look at this picture sideways...this is the new concrete cycling lane. DU will introduce a new traffic plan for the CWG. Students have been asking for one for years. Nobody cares if students walking around campus get run over. If a foreign delegate gets run over? Now that's what is important.
However, now that the Games are here, so is a new traffic plan. Two roads will become one way and cycling lanes are being made (or that's what they look like). When I returned to campus last month after my summer vacation these were just being constructed. The picture above shows you how smooth the surfacing is. Three hours of mild rain and yes they are mini-mosquito breeding pools now! And these are concrete. If I remember correctly what my grandfather, a civil engineer, taught me then concrete roads are not re-surfaced every year like the other roads we have. NOPE. They are expensive. They last for years.
