Thanks David. I think your suggestion is great. I have
used the underpass in spite of the prohibition signs
before and will say that mostly car drivers were
aware of me (and never honked and left plenty of space
when passing), but I second that a "Share the road"
sign will increase awareness for those motorists who
haven't had their morning coffee yet.

Good luck with the meeting, I hope many will attend.
This is a very important step.
