I doubt I'm alone - I wonder if anyone's been hit in an attempt to skirt around the barriers. Wouldn't be surprised, would sue the city.

Try being a cyclist...they are tearing up sections of 7th st under the bike lane. They made a halfhearted attempt to detour using a portion of the traffic lane, but then in snowed(as it does around here) and they just gave up. So your choices are to play in traffic(not horrible southbound), and, uh, ride the sidewalk I guess northbound? It's really irritating, because they've used all the extra lane space as their personal vehicle parking. Use a fricken' parking lot like the rest of the downtown workers. I get it for work vehicles if they need access to stuff, but these are a mix.
This construction also seems to have given the bike path cleaning crew permission to do sweet #### all on the rest of the open sections.
