Green Belt Accidents

Tweet

Last August, a woman was bike riding on the Green Belt here in Boise and had an accident. She had a head injury and died. Now her family is suing the city of Boise for millions of dollars. A few months before this incident, a man was riding in this same area and had an accident. He had a broken collarbone and a head laceration. The Parks and Recreation Department had marked the area in red paint. I used to ride the Green Belt nearly every day for hours, and I never received any injuries. I think that people aren't watching and aren't aware of their surroundings. If people are hurt repeatedly, Parks and Recreation should definitely do something, but if these people aren't reporting it, then how do they know it is such a hazard? For those who don't know, the Green Belt is a lovely walkway along the river that runs through our city. Many people walk it and bike it. The picture is from Boulderpoint-Boise.com
