Feb. 9 Nelson Bike Route traffic scam monitoring YouTube video

 I live in Fairview, own 2 ebikes, ride and walk and know the traffic. I attended the public info session for the grant, window dressing the grant required public consultation. +.  It was a done deal, no  traffic monitoring or engineering to support turning all Fairview 3rd st.STOP signs.  I tried to get through to city council about the impact on Fairview vehicle traffic.  They didn't want to hear from me, said I was wasting their time, they painted me with the crazy brush and blocked my emails. I didn't know my emails were blocked until one day I received an "out of office reply" from the city corporate officer who wan't on my email TO: recipient list? I emailed her asking if my emails were blocked, she replied, correct.  I do have a history with the city asking them questions they don't want to answer.  Particularly in regards to their phony community solar garden.  That was a fraud, phony engineering showing it had a payback.  I complaine...

City negligence

There is already a precedent in this city for a successful lawsuit.     In the case of   Nelson (City) v. Marchi , the respondent, Taryn Joy Marchi, maintained that she suffered injuries due to the negligence of city personnel performing snow clearing activities. The  slip and fall accident  occurred because the snow plowing crew neglected to provide safe access to the sidewalk. The Supreme Court of Canada found that the city owed the respondent a duty of care and was not immune from liability. The city believed they were immune, you can read all  read all about it here The case was settled out of court, settlement details confidential.  Government immunity,    not so fast........3rd st. bike route is more than neglect, in my opinion gross negligence, turning all STOP signs with no traffic safety engineers approval or traffic monitoring to support this. In my opinion the risk of a cyclist tragedy because the city turned all the STOP sign...

Background Reminder

 I live in Fairview, own ebikes, tried to offer public input to the bike route grant.  Ended up with the city blocking my emails, emails threatening legal action and a phone call telling me they would take my camera.    Yes they now claim 22 bikes/hr avg, double the pedestrians to 30/hr and vehicle traffic down 50%.   Unsupportable by my dozens of intersection camera video evidence.   The grant was to reduce GHG's, eligibility required traffic monitoring before and after the project to determine success and GHG reduction estimate. Video evidence clearly shows 4000 or more vehicles now stop and start daily because they turned all the Fairview 3rd St stop signs so bikes would not have to stop.   Winter video shows vehicle traffic remains about the same, bicycles amount to virtually none.    The math.....4000+vehicles stop per day.   up to 30,0000/week, 120,000/mo, a staggering   1,400,000 per year  The ci...
