Cooper Rd Bike/Ped Lanes Suffering from Clutter

An alert area cyclist took these photos of a partially blocked bike/ped lane in the 3700 block of Cooper Road in Blue Ash on Friday, November 20 about 9:20 a.m. The location is on Cooper between Reading and Plainfield near the Raymond Walters Campus and the Blue Ash Airport.

Here are that cyclist's comments in a message sent to the City of Blue Ash Administration:

I realize that some containers are as far back as they can go against the grass and aren't really a "huge" issue but it would be better if they put them in their driveways. The exception to this is the placement of the recyclable containers in the [top] picture. They are always in the middle of the lane.

Are there any rules/regulations about acceptable usage of this lane? If so, consider making them available to these property owners. The other residents have the respect to never have their containers in the bike/ped lane.

We will post the City of Blue Ash's response when it is available. In the meantime, please let us know of any issues you encounter in your rides anywhere in the region. We will be glad to publicize these as a way of helping to get them resolved to everyone's satisfaction.
