Submitted by JJacobson on Wed, 06/05/2013 - 9:25pm

This week the President of the Piermont Civic Association wrote a special letter re visiting bicyclists to all the village's residents  .He specifically mentioned problems with cyclists riding double or triple file, ignoring red traffic lights and stop signs and exceeding the 15 mph limit on the pier.  He also pointed out to the dangerous cycling conditions on 9W between Piermont and Nyack and accident risks on Ash St.  The Village's Police Department is usually responsive to these issues.
