BRENT JOSEPH DILELLA: February 2008 Archives

It is now at least 6 hours since the snow has stopped, and my appartment complex has yet to clear the parking lot. My first question, is someone gonna have to fall and bust their head open before they start clearing it right away? AND Do they realize that many people ride bike and walk through our parking lot ? Clearing roads and parking lots in the borough isnever on top priority and I see people fall all the time. The one path of the pattee mall that goes from pollock road to the allen street gates is always clear, theres either pipes or a tunnel underneath it, but i don't understand why a similar thing couldn't be installed on the rest of the paths? Time can only telll.

CRBC The Centre Country Bicycle Coalition, announced the other day that State College Police will be cracking down on light use on bicycles. My question is, why all of a sudden? No laws have changed, cyclists have always had to use lights. But now they are cracking down, not a year ago, but now. Is there a level of cyclists injured because of lack of lights that make it more important now  to crack down on bicycles without lights. Is there a number of pissed off motorists before the Police decide, "O we should now start enforcing a law thats been around for years." What ethics does the government and police force run upon? And REMEMBER if you're riding in the dark, use lights!
