A few days ago Jerusalem experienced a light Spring rain. Afterwards, people traveling along HaHagana Street in the French Hill neighborhood noticed an interesting thing, the bike paths, with their canal-like structure, have certain drainage issues. After a light rain, numerous puddles formed ranging in size from modest, to very large (see pictures).
For a bicyclist, any puddle can be a danger. Mud can make the wheels of the bicycle slippery and cause dangerous accidents. The high-walled structure of these paths insure that dirt and dust will collect inside. With the recent rainfall it is also clear that there is inadequate drainage and that puddles will certainly form. The resulting combination will be a hazardous muddy path that will inevitably add even more injuries to those already caused by this ill-designed bike path project.
