Mike has suggested to circulate this to the DWV Engineering staff and perhaps we could also include the mayor and councillors.

Rotary Ride for Rescue on 11 June

Closed to automobiles till August but MUP remains open
Better share-the-path signage is needed to encourage cyclists to ride on the MUP rather than the automobile traffic lanes.
