Another protest against the dangerous and illegal bike path project was held today

The "North Jerusalem Residents for Safety and Quality of Life" Amuta reports:


"The Amuta held a demonstration today at 8:15 in the morning around the traffic circle between Lehi Street and Churchill Boulevard. The demonstration was in order to protest against the renewal of the construction of the sub-standard and illegal bike paths in the French Hill area that have posed a threat and nuisance to the public for months. The protest was a success with a wide range of local residents participating, including students as well as bicycle riders who see the flawed structure of the bike paths a danger for bicyclists and an impediment in encouraging bicycles as an alternative means of transportation. Over 500 flyers were distributed to drivers and pedestrians that passed through the area who expressed overwhelming support for the demonstrator's cause."

The message was posted on the Amuta's new Facebook page. The Amuta also stated that they are planning a protest during the evening hours that will take place at some point during the next few days. Details will follow.
