However, it calls for an intricate system of traffic lights including the bike path that connects up to the Rachel path. This little video shows some bike traffic going through the intersection. Due to the alternating lights to allow traffic to go north/south on Avenue du Parc or east/west on Avenue des Pins, it makes for a long wait to get a green light, which always tempts cyclists to cheat across when traffic clears. Perhaps the city should consider reprogramming the lights to add a bicycle/pedestrian crossing after each vehicle pass?
Nice to see a cyclist get off the path to answer her cell phone rather than stand in the middle of the path. Notice, sadly, the lack of lights on most bicycles. There was the odd flash of lightning in the background as a thunderstorm cell approaches. Made it home minutes before the torrential rain dropped out of the sky!
