Good stuff
----------

Mention of "www.bicyclelongmont.org" -- most
excellent! Thank you for that.

Shows more of the city than the previous map, all the
way to 75th Street on the west and almost to WCR3.5 on
the east. North of SH66 and south to Ogalalla Road.


Opportunities for improvement for the next revision
---------------------------------------------------

Move the legend into an empty spot on the map e.g. the
southeast area where compass, scale, and
bicyclelongmont.org are at. Where the legend is now,
put bicycle road rules and trail rules.

The paths at Sandstone Ranch that are not on the map.

The north-south off-street path in the development
east of Fox Hill Country Club is missing.

Totally subjective
------------------

I think I consider Pike Road (marked dark blue) to be
worse than Quail Road, 119th Street, Rogers Road, and
Sugarmill Road (all marked red) in terms of traffic
volume. All have similar road widths.

Curiosity
---------

The new map shows a street going west from 119th
Street just south of Ken Pratt, going along the St.
Vrain River. In reality, there's a closed gate and
no-trespassing sign on this dirt road.


Anyway, great job on this!
