Not even the cops


This sign is posted next to the Wellington E. Webb Municipal Building downtown, catty-corner to the Rocky's building. Pedestrian traffic is "urged" to flow adjacent to the Webb building, not along the nearby sidewalk next to Colfax Avenue. Where Colfax takes a jog around Civic Center Park, that sidewalk is for wheels only. (So the opposite of the sign above. No peds. Bikes and blades, OK.)

Mind you, nobody pays attention to these signs; as you can see from my vantage point in the photo, they're not at eye level.

And today, just as I crossed Colfax Avenue and Bannock Street, two cops on mountain bikes ignored the sign, riding straight into the pedestrian flow! As if!

those dang cops. they think they can do whatever they want...and apparently they can. gah!

the town's car that I use on occasion to run errands (i.e. go to the bank and the post office) gives me that feeling of being a cop. It's an old cop car, but it still has a lot of the stuff in it, like the spotlight some of the red and blue lights, the radio, the siren, all that good stuff haha. and the windows are all tinted dark so unless you really look you might not be able to tell it's lil ole me behind the wheel.

Twice the blessing, plus one said...

Josephine-those signs are hilarious....you would think that if they wanted people/cops to follow them...they would put them at eye level!

Hope you are doing well!!!!
