good idea

Pete:

Phyllis, working with Jim Carlson, wants to make it legal for bikes to treat stop signs like yield signs, and stop lights like stop signs.  A similar law is currently in place in Idaho and from all accounts works just fine.  When I visited Boise last summer I saw tons of bikes.  I wasn’t in Boise long enough to form a truly informed opinion, but there didn’t seem to be a lot of traffic conflicts between bikes and cars.

Go tell the Strib that you agree with Pete.

4:41pm UPDATE: Hummm…seems Ms. Kahn was snoozing during the debate of the bill. Maybe she will wake up in time to vote on it.

h/t Ben.
