12 ave almost done, with the cement barriers.
Today 5th St started up with the blockages. Going to be a gong show.
Used to have at least a dedicated late to turn left on 12th from 5th. No more. I park between 10th and 11th Ave between 4th and 5th, and head south after work. Turning south onto 5th St will almost be undoable. Could always turn into the near lane, now, have to avoid pedestrians, then bike lanes, then then wait for someone in the now longer line in the nearest lane. What a bottleneck. The lanes are always jammed going straight through 12th, and now you're adding about 10 cars, per light, that would've used the inside dedicated dual turn lane to go east, in the lone single turn lane, aforementionedly jammed with traffic backed up from 17th. And of course now just a single turn lane onto 12th, which itself is a lane down too.
This is a trial? Come winter (rather, late September) when 90% of the bikers go back to getting in the car, these full lanes on major ingress and egress routes, are staying?
