It was a traffic engineering decision. You might want want to talk to them.

When St. Mary's went up, they ground out the bike lane solid line (Northbound), but not the bike diamonds, then didn't replace them when construction was over, so for a few blocks it looks like a regular lane - until The Curve diner, where all the cars that were in the right lane have to merge dangerously back into traffic because of the marked bike lane and parking. Then on the SB lane, as you noted, the bike lane has been slowly been shortened before Fish Hatchery. The "Bike lane Ends" sign used to be after Dave's BBQ, but is moving North. This puts SB cyclists in the precarious position on having to straddle the painted line between "off ramp" traffic, and "thru traffic" - both of which are moving at 40 mph,horns blaring,less than 3' from cyclists. Finally there's some easy breathing south of Fish Hatch, in the parking/bike lane that seems perpetually filled with mufflers and other chunks of metal - at least it's wide enough that we can maneuver around them. john martin _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
