Runners In Downtown Bristol Are Raising Concerns Over Signs That Appear To Ban Them From Sidewalks. The Signs In Bristol, Virginia, Say Skateboards, Roller Skates, Bicycles, Others On Wheels Or Runners Are Prohibited. But City Leaders Say The Word “Runners” Refers To Devices With Metal Blades, Like Sleds—Not People Running. City Manager Randy Eads Said Runners Are Welcome On The Sidewalks And The Signs Will Be Changed. It’s Unclear When That Will Happen.
