We are sad to report the death of James L. Konski, P.E. at age 85 on December 17, 2002; he was former Board member of NYBC and an avid bicycle rider and advocate. Jim suffered a stroke a few years ago that restricted his activities, but up to that time rode great distances, actvely supported the “good engineering” that resulted in roads and bridges that were safer for bicyclists, pedestrians and motor vehicles at very little extra cost.
Jim’s research proved that proper road shoulders not only improved safe bicycling, but for 10% more costruction cost would extend road life by 20%. Jim is also foundly remembered by former NYS officials, for frequently bicyling from his engineering firm’s Syracuse office to meetings in Albany, helping to organize long distance bike trips and races in France and elsewhere, and his good humor and good advice. After years of advocacy, Jim was happy to see “his” message for good design begin to influence transportation engineering in the United States. |
