Pic of the "new" St Mary street

[HoustonCajun]

Here is an updated photo of the expected completed design, taken from the UL site, dated 11/4. Notice that it is different from the earlier ones, in that both auto lanes are in the middle, with the cyclist lanes occupying the outside lanes. My guess (hope?) is that this is an easy/cheap, quick fix, with the boulevard-type design to come later????

I like the FDLs painted on the street.

At least have a curb separating the bike lanes from the auto lanes. You don't want any cars swerving into a bike lane! With all the idiots looking at the smart phones while driving, I wouldn't want to be on a bike sharing a road with automobiles!

Yet, bike riders still have no problems jumping into the street in and out of this section. Perhaps some bike riders should be educated and take some responsiblity for their actions as well. Just saying...

Bike riders have every right to move out of the bike lane and into the street depending on the situation. Also just saying...

Boom, I'm cool with it but all traffic needs to respect each other, its not a one way street. I will avoid that section for the most part, but there will be a few ocassions I will still have to travel down it.

It is the law. Bikes are legally supposed to ride on the street and only the street.

No obviously.

I'm just making sure you aren't one of those guys who honks non stop at a bike for entering a turning lane.

Bicyclers rarely obey the traffic laws. This is why they get run over...not because of bad drivers. I'm sure it happens but for the most part bicyclers think the rules don't apply to them...until they lay bloody and broken in the street from their own idiocy.
