I don't remember the details, but I seem to recall one or more townships in western Dane County enacted stuff like that. I think the stuff was repealed. However, I bring this up because if anyone remembers the details and how it was resolved to the satisfaction of all (if it was), it would be good to mention that to Craig Hardy. The initial impetus was that roads are for cars, and bikes, even fast-moving ones, are in the way; this outmoded thinking is, well, outmoded. I will include it in my e-mail to him if someone can bring me up to speed on this stuff.
