The Do's and Don'ts of Using the Boise Green Belt
The Green Belt is a popular place for Boise residents. On just about every day of the week, any day of the year, one can find lots of other people utilizing the path. It is a favorite among families taking bike rides with their children, people walking their dogs, college students commuting from one place to another, and joggers. Being that the Boise Green Belt is such a popular and much used feature, it would be nicer for everyone involved if those using it could adhere to some simple rules of etiquette and safety. Read ahead for the Do's and Don'ts of the Boise Green Belt!
DON'T walk on the wrong side of the path. It's just like driving, folks. Stick to your side. It's completely rude, not to mention a safety issue, for you to walk in the oncoming lane. Display some common courtesy and scoot over already!
DON'T hold friend or family reunions in the middle of the Green Belt. Just yesterday, my family and I were on a bike ride when we had to maneuver around a group of about 8 middle aged women who had all stopped dead in their tracks to congregate and gab in the middle of the path! Half of them were in one lane, half of them were in the other. If you're going to stop, step off to the side of the path. We understand you are happy to bump into people you know while on the path, but there are plenty of nice, grassy areas to stand and talk, rather than block everyone else who is trying to use the Green Belt.
DO maintain proper control of your dogs. Don't let them jump at people passing on bikes. Or worse, get in front of somebody on a bike in the oncoming lane. My 8 year old daughter almost fell off her bike yesterday because one rude dog walker let his dog jump up at her as she passed on her bike. Not cool, folks. Your dog may be cute and wonderful, but that doesn't mean we want our children to be thrown to the asphalt because of your negligence in controlling them.
If everyone who uses the Boise Green Belt commits to using common courtesy while doing so, then it will be a much safer and more pleasant place to be for everyone.
