I actually sort of like the ones on the westbound side of the 1100 block of
Spaight St.  Unless you are an extreme curb-hugger, it's hard not to take
the whole lane on either end of the street.  I've never ridden down the hill
(eastbound); I usually take Jenifer in that direction.  Although there are
some people who roar up Spaight, spewing their toxic waste to try to save a
few seconds from going on car streets, Spaight isn't as bad as some streets,
such as the Glenway mentioned here.  Mostly, I do dislike them, especially
the ones on Hammersley Road, one of the earlier ones.  Maybe TE is learning
how to design them better.
