Making roads wide and safe are a good idea….so a group biked to the Jackson Co. Commissioners’ Meeting, according to SMN:
A four-mile stretch of N.C. 107 south of Western Carolina University currently has no bike lane and no shoulder to speak of, earning it the nickname of “The Gauntlet” among students and faculty that ride it.
“The name should tell you what we think about that stretch of road,” said Chris Cooper, a political science professor who spoke up for the bike lane at a county commissioner meeting last month.
