The fine people at City of Boise Parks & Rec continue to paint obstacles with drab red paint that no average cyclist can see very well, as if this will keep them from another $10M lawsuit the next time some poor cyclist loses their life on this stretch. It won’t work.
Director Doug Holloway should have been fired or resigned in disgrace when that woman died from an “asphalt volcano.” Instead, Doug is retiring this year as if nothing happened. Shame on Doug, and shame on Boise for refusing to properly maintain critical infrastructure.

What's your favourite news story from this week? This is definitely one of the top ones to make you chuckle in appreciation. After the Republicans in Utah and Idaho banned the Pride flag, Salt lake City and Boise got creative to find great workarounds, such as making the Pride flag their official city flag. And read to the bottom for one last creative legislative move.

Republican-controlled legislatures in Utah and Idaho banned pride flags from schools and government buildings. Their Democratic-controlled capitals have found a way around the bans. The Council of Salt Lake City, Utah, has approved new designs that add the city's emblem, a sego lily, to the rainbow and transgender flags and adopted a red and blue flag for Juneteenth. These are now considered city flags, which can be freely flown. In Boise, Idaho, Mayor Lauren McLean issued a proclamation retroactively making the pride flag — which has flown over City Hall for years — an official city flag. The council voted in favor of the proclamation Tuesday night. “Removing the flag now after years of flying it proudly would not be a neutral act,” said council member Meredith Stead. “It would signal a retreat from values we’ve long upheld and send a disheartening message to those who have found affirmation and belonging through its presence at city hall.” Here's more from @AssociatedPress.
