So to follow up on the travesty of the bikers, now there is the walkers and runners.  We were driving through Copperfield last night just cruising around Lexington in the super van, and low and behold this problem was everywhere.  I know Lexington does have some issues in connecting sidewalks between neighborhoods, but we were deep in the Copperfield territory.  Sidewalk coverage was maximum.  Yet here they were on both sides of the road two wide walkers and runners consuming the road.  Not only that, but also people parked on the street.  So I literally had to come to a complete stop to let the walkers past the parked cars so then I could proceed around it.

FYI to all Lexingtonians, we have sidewalks.  They are meant for those people wishing to walk and run.  I cannot decide I want to drive on the sidewalk, so why can you decide you want to walk in the road?  All sidewalks in Lexington cannot have a vertical height difference of more than an inch so people won’t trip.  Also all street trees and other trees are to be maintained by the home owner to allow a clearing height of at least 6.5′ (which is sorely not enforced enough).  So instead of wasting the time of everyone and adding to more chaos in the streets, how about you get on the phone to downtown Lexington and tell them to come out and enforce the rules.  Or better yet get out there and help your neighbors out and take a walk with some clippers and cut em down.  Either way, please stay on the sidewalk where walking and running belong.

Rant over.
