Elysian Valley: Share The Path

Photo: Diane Edwardson, March 11, 2012.  Former CD13 deputy and current City Council candidate, Mitch O'Farrell spoke at the dedication of the "Share the Path" signs in Elysian Valley on the LA River.  (Click on photo to enlarge.) 

As if to punctuate why the signs were necessary, a group of bicyclists sped past, rudely shouting, "It's called a bike path!" to the group of Elysian Valley Neighborhood Council and Elysian Valley Neighborhood Watch members.  The Elysian Valley groups worked with O'Farrell (while he was a CD13 deputy) to create the signs because pedestrians felt they were being pushed off the path that was meant for both bikes and pedestrians.
