"Permanent barrier to go up near where car entered river"
The reaction to the car in the creek incident yesterday speaks volumes about local safety priorities. A single incident, well two if you count the one last fall in the same general area and under different circumstances, and the government leaps in to action and bends over backwards to protect motorists…from themselves.
Meanwhile, the 1000s of people who cycle and who face much more dangerous situations on a daily basis lobby endlessly and advocate for evidence based solutions for their own protection from others to no avail.

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
