It should be noted (as perhaps some are implying) that slowing down traffic is an explicit goal.-- Mark

The NextDoor complaints? They make people slow down. Apparently, they don’t like that. :D There are also comments as to how the streets are going to be kept clean now as noted here. I’m not a fan

Motorists hate anything that they perceive as slowing them down. If they're happy, we're probably doing something wrong.

The complaints about the bollards are so absurd. Do they ruin the view of the lovely asphalt? Vinnie Bacon e: vbacon@... p: 510-796-8870

As a cyclist, I am not impressed with them as it seems there is more debris in the bike lanes, and the spacing is close enough that avoiding the debris requires a sharp turn into the car lane. It

“Motorists on Nextdoor” are not our target audience. They don’t like anything ;)

The green bollards aren’t popular with the motorist who post on NextDoor. They bitch about them constantly! Marie

Reminder, this thread started again because someone mentioned seeing near collision incidences on walnut in multiple occasions. If this project was so good, why are we hearing about this

The green bollards are popular with everyone as far as I know. As for a solution for avid cyclists on Walnut - it already exists: ride in the car lane like we do on every other road without a

Like many others I do not ride on Walnut any more, I tried a couple of times but gave up after having to stop and disembark multiple times for people walking in the wrong direction with headphones on.

The bike lane could be come a right-turn-only (except bikes) lane at the intersections. That solves the radius problem.

We already have a full-width trail on both sides of Walnut. But it’s split into a bike half and a ped half. It was a noble idea, but it doesn’t work as well as one wide path. (I’m guessing the

A class II bike lane would negate the speed-reduction benefit of the wide corners at the intersections. Turning cars crossing the bike lane effectively have a vastly increased turning radius, allowing

Michael, you are totally right that just making a bunch of rules will not be effective in separating bikes and pedestrians. However, I think the only reason the Alameda Creek Trail works where it does

I think the point here is that cyclists are vulnerable to some degree no matter how fast, experienced, assertive, or responsible they are.

True, but if you control for speed and aggressivenessassertiveness, you might find that they are no less vulnerable than the people riding beach bikes at 10 mi/h. -- Mark

The number of club and race team members with decades of experience, exceptional bike handling skills, and responsibility who have been hit by cars should be enough to show that responsibility alone

Two words. “ horrible project”. This is our tax money wasted for little to no gain or even making things worse. Did it really help riders feeling safe? Apparently not. This road design is

All, It looks like the air quality will be in the moderate range tomorrow, so the FriYay! Das Brew ride is on. Let’s meet at 5:45 for a 6pm ride time. We will do the route listed in the calendar

Whenever people complain that bike infrastructure isn’t safe, we are told that this infrastructure isn’t for *us* the savvy cyclists. It’s for beginners who want to feel safe. I submit that
