B' Spokes: First kudos for getting this up on the web. But I'll note if you turn on the &quot;Bicycle Level of Comfort&quot; layer they grouped grades C &amp; D together and that's not right. That would be like saying here is a list of restaurants that are satisfactory and less than satisfactory and we are not going to tell which is which so go ahead and just try them out and if you don't like it well that's what a grade D means.

I have to ask how is that promoting bicycling or encouraging people to ride if the state knowling says roads that are less than satisfactory are satisfactory? This also ties into the state's 20 year bicycling plan (which is currently being updated) which has a goal of 80% of state roads with a BLOC grade D (unsatisfactory) or better. We need a goal of 100% BLOC grade C or better and no more BS about how goals need to be attainable and then the state knocks out a 20 year goal in less than a year and then we got stuck with no improvement for the next ten years. The CTP is for attainable goals not the long range plan!
