Andrew,
I wouldn't mind helping with that but I'm not sure how.  Would running/walking 
any of the roads/trails with a gps watch then downloading the information help?

The weather's getting really nice, and I'd like to start running on campus 
again. 

Given the messages I've seen about changes in running accessibility, referring 
to the map seems about right.  The attached map from the ORNL website is 
evidently current as of November 2007.  Seven years seems like a decent 
interval for an updated map of permitted access/use.  Naturally I can't make 
such a request without volunteering to be part of the solution, so I hereby 
volunteer to do the cartography if someone can point me to the GIS shapefiles 
of the roads and buildings, and if someone can compile/vet the list of places 
where running and biking are currently permitted.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Andrew Balser

Joan,
Is old Bethel Valley Rd. (after they do the truck inspection) closed to runners 
now?  It was such a nice quiet place to run that kept you away from the traffic.

Be safe!!!

Walking/running/cycling in the dark: Wear bright, reflective clothing!  A must!

It's spring, which means daffodils, cyclists and joggers are popping up along 
the highways. It's also Daylight Saving Time, which comes earlier than it used 
to, resulting in dark and gloomy morning commutes.

For foot travelers and cyclists, the old school safety poster read "Wear white 
at night." The advice still holds.

Pedestrians, joggers and cyclists should wear light colored or reflective 
clothing when walking or riding near roadways in the dark. Dark clothes make an 
individual practically invisible under certain conditions.  Wear white/bright 
outer covering is a good idea; reflective tape is preferable. Some sort of 
light is even better.

If you are walking/running/cycling along roads in the dark, make yourself 
conspicuous. The advice is the same for daylight: Wear bright colors so 
motorists will see you. Have a <a 
href="http://www.pedbikeinfo.org/community/tips_pedestrian.cfm";>safe trip.<
