Re: David Bell multi-use path..why is there only one sign 10ft high mentioning the rules of use??? You need a few more maybe 5 ft high, where users can see it and perhaps a few in spanish...maybe people would understand what it means when you yell out "to your left or to your right"...maybe mention your dog leash certain lenght and maybe for parents to watch KIDS it's our only work-out path in Central Tucson, and people use it for everything but a work-out space, where else are we suppose to go, for a jog without falling over dogs n kids, or a bike ride without having to hit anyone, groups of people need to stay on one side not take up both sides...not hard to do.
