    The sewer bypass project on Four Mile Run continues. Pipe has been laid out all the way from the S/W Glebe intersection to Eads.

    Where the pipe crosses the trail between Mt Vernon and the treatment plant, they’ve built THIS to navigate over it. It’s solid, it has stripes and a non-skid surface, and huge signs warning you of its presence. When they’ve gone to such lengths to keep the trail open when possible, it’s hard to complain about the periods when it’s not.

    The section between S/W Glebe and S Troy is still detoured to the sidewalk. People seem to be coping with it, despite it being so narrow. Stay safe.

    Overall they’ve done a great job with signage, but the section along Glebe where the trail is right against the road is is VERY narrow with the pipe taking up about 1/3rd of the trail. It can feel a little scary when there is a bike coming the other direction and there is heavy car traffic. Otherwise I have no real complaints.

    Rode this yesterday and really enjoyed the ramp. The trail really is narrow in those places where the pipe is sitting on it. And right at the sidewalk detour an e-roadbike passed me at double my speed with no warning and less than a foot of clearance. This tool has done this before, but this time I was able to catch up with him at the light so at least he is aware of what he is now since he apparently did no know.

    Caught some air then?

    I could do without the cones next to the pipe narrowing the trail even further. How about putting the cones on top of the pipe, leaning against the wall?

    “Wheeeeeee!”

    Checked first to make sure no one was coming, and also that the lip wouldn’t flat me.
