Bridgeport Way Bike path Safety Concerns
Muskego Safety Committee Meeting
May 13, 1993
Background:
Subdivider's Agreement between Kaerek Builders and City of Muskego
specifies an 8' wide asphalt bike path located 5' off the curb line shall be
installed along the north line of Bridgeport Way. The cost of the bike
path would be $4,150.00 and would be paid from park dedication fees.
This path is not to a inst ed until occupancy permits are issued to lots
26, 27 and 28.
Residents of the surrounding area have been meeting with the Muskego
Park and Recreation Board since November of 1992 strongly opposing
this bike path implementation for many reasons including the safety of
the citizens using this path as well as the safety of the children living
along this path. The Park and Recreation board insists this path be
• implemented in spite of these concerns.
Safety Concerns:
1. Residents brought to the attention of the P&R Board the fact that
several fire hydrants as well as a utility pole would be located in
the middle of the proposed asphalt path. One board member
suggested that the fire hydrants be moved while another suggested
that the path be moved closer to the road. If the path were moved
closer to the road would the path have enough clearance from the
mailboxes as well as the fire hydrant to ensure the safety of riders?
How does the city attorney feel about the potential liability for the
city if path does not have adequate clearance?
2. Bike path ends at Bay Lane. This street is known by many to be
dangerous because it is so narrow, it is heavily used, and drivers
do not obey the posted 25MPH speed limit. In a letter from
Principal Thomas Brown to Jerry Hulbert Principal Brown states
'We discourage walkers and bikers as this District has been
declared a hazardous area because of the lack of sidewalks."
. According to Mr. Hulbert, there are no plans to extend the bike
path along Bay Lane.
• 3. Eight foot wide path would be wide enough for an automobile. Is
this safe for children living in the area? What ordinance would
prevent automobiles from driving on this path? What is the
associated fine?
4. Bike path should not cross driveways. This is unsafe for riders as
well as drivers
5. Have National Bike Path Safety Standards been addressed in the
design of this and ALL other Muskego bike paths?
6. A dead-end path can invite loitering to the area.
We ask for your consideration to these safety matters.
