Bike path reroute

I'm glad that they're rerouting the bike path around the Rite Aid parking lot. But the way they're doing it is kind of surprising:

Bike path reroute
This is a whole bunch of accidents waiting, not for very long, to happen. It's really tricky to navigate on a bike even at low speed with no other traffic.

And it doesn't need to be that way; they could have taken down those bollards and curved it through where the wood chips are. Possibly smoothing out the other transition would require sacrificing the nearmost parking space.

I rode by there again today and saw a good reason for the sharp turns -- they wanted to avoid lopping off a corner of the Bikeway Community Garden.
