There is better cooperation with City of Tallahassee trans-portation planners. The issue is safety as well as convenience. With 80 students per acre, FSU is severely congested. No campus streets have dedicated bike lanes. Pedestrians duck and swerve.
Cyclists swoosh around blind corners of buildings and rip through hedges.
Motorists fume at the herds before them. The Bow Tie Trail, a temporary path of recycled asphalt from Stadium Drive West to Woodward Avenue, is just one, hard-fought remedy. To their credit, the administrators listened. This campus is too small for us to have so many cars. In the plan is an east-west connector road through the intramural fields, from Stadium Drive West to Chieftan Way, with bike lanes and sidewalks, that would make portions of the Bow Tie Trail obsolete.
