I think we should deal with our own community's horrendously low minority population before we start protesting other community's racism. We obviously have a problem when less than 1% of our population is black.

The cyclists weren't following the truck. Wolfe passed them and then slammed on his brakes. Even if he legitimately had to hit the brakes to avoid another vehicle, that is obviously an unsafe pass, you don't make a pass when there isn't sufficient room due to other traffic.

If you're really only a year away from clinical trials the university should be able to sell the ip to the professor or a pharmaceutical company. It sounds like a very marketable product that could generate investment easily. Maybe that's why it was cut. Government funds should be spent on early stage research that private organizations won't fund. Let private investors fund it if it has actual clinical value. Surely the maker of the asthma drug in question would be willing to pay for the research if it opens a new market for the drug.

The "areas of the Southwest" with reduced water usage they are referring to are areas where lawns are uncommon, not the suburban front range.

How dare those a*holes run an add campaign to reduce traffic congestion! I say give me gridlock or give me death, these eco terrorists are trampling on our God given right to stay stuck in traffic.

Yeah, banning legit users who will probably call the cops if they see drugs/kids drinking/vandalism is a great way to deter problem users.

"I'm concerned it's flooding the market when so many people in Louisville can't sell their homes"

If you can't sell your home, you should try renting instead. The Louisville single family rental market is insane. When we moved here in July I talked to around 10 landlords on the phone about renting single family homes. By the time my girlfriend and I flew out here 3 days later to look at houses, they were all taken.

We finally found a 3 bedroom we liked, and while filling out paper work in the property management company's office another couple burst through the door and starting bidding the monthly rent price up! Got lucky and found a place through a landlord that had a vacancy coming up.

Since we've moved here 2 single family houses in our same neighborhood have sold in under a month. That's is awesome compared to the rest of the country where your house could sit on the market for months at a time, even if you're taking a huge loss.

Aren't all traffic circles 'yield-to-left' in left-hand drive countries? A yield-to-right traffic circle would make no sense at all.

There is currently a bike path underpass and a pedestrian overpass near McCaslin and 36th. Presumably these are not going away. Besides, riding a bike over the current bridge and through the intersections is scary as hell, so it would be pretty hard to make worse.

Mountain bike riders pay just as much taxes as hikers. We deserve the same level of access to public land. We generally build and maintain trails ourselves via volunteer efforts. We like narrow 16" wide trails that probably have less impact than the 4' wide thoroughfares that hikers and runners seem to favor. More miles of trail results in a better experience for all trail users.

I yearn for the backwoods experience where I can ride for 4 hours and not see any other people, just as much as hikers do. I wish the trails were less crowded so I could see more wildlife, but I'm also not delusional. We live on the edge of the largest metropolitan area between Texas and California, and many of the people who live here moved here because of the mountains. Narlington can ban bikes from every trail in the county, and he still won't get the serene escapism that he's looking for.

I feel that hiker/bikers only days are a good solution that works on congested trails, but the long term solution is more miles of trail for all users.
