What do you wish existed for your commute?

It was in my Spam mailbox so I did not see it for a bit. I got a response to my letter quoted above

"Dear Ms. Trek,

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have asked my staff to handle your request and we will get a sign installed as expeditiously as possible.

Roxy Carmichael-Hart
Transportation Manager
The City Trek Lives in"

Soon more riders and pedestrians may be enjoying this quiet street parallel that passes a park then goes up over the freeway instead of on the overpass itself.

No ice or snow on the roads, ever.
Wide, clean shoulders the whole way.
Cops directing stopping cars to let bikes go at intersections.
No bike-killer storm drains with the parallel bars (I counted no fewer than 20 of these in an 8-mile stretch of my ride)

Most of all, no:
- Stinky garbage trucks
- Semi trucks with big long trailers on narrow roads
- Landscaping trucks, especially with big trailers*
- Snow plows spewing salt as they pass you
- School buses that pass too close
- Vehicles that pass within 1 foot of you at any time

*Yesterday I got passed by a van that had a huge fan affixed the the front. It was towing a large trailer, and attached to the back of the trailer was the basket for a hot air balloon!
