Columbia's Bicycle and Pedestrian Commission met Wednesday evening to discuss a potential new pedestrian safety ordinance. . . .

"It will impact all of Columbia because we have major roadways", said Commissioner Chair Elke Boyd. "Pedestrians will be affected because it will make it basically impossible for them to get around the city because there are a lot of places that don't have a crosswalk." . . .

"It goes way beyond pedestrian safety," said Boyd. "It makes it illegal for you to be on a major roadway unless you're in a vehicle."

Residents are encouraged and invited to look over the ordinance and share their thoughts . . .
