Bike path reroute

[ceo]

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:


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 thought that too at first, but note that they installed a curb across the end of the pathway. That indicates to me that they intend all traffic to take that turn.

I doubt it. Look at all the newly paved intersections on Willow. They're raising the road to meet the sidewalks/paths.

looks like there's a curb cut now.
