I am ALL for bike lanes where and when they make sense, but this transformation was embarrassing on so many fronts.

What I want to know is IF Anne drove this and WHO at admin (or otherwise) supported it without reasonableness.

Newfangled must be rollin' - what a sad day.

1. It didn't work for anyone and pissed off everyone
2. It terminated poorly at 116 and caused confusion (I've used it)
3. I was of the opinion that it worked well as is with the lane on the south side and led to fewer opportunities for incidents
4. Visitor and user parking there was used very well and loading zones for a few buildings the same
5. Driving down it, it seemed intimidating and difficult for many to know where to look; not intuitive IMO.

^ agreed. Rode it many times myself. Could be better if they redid the sidewalk as well along the promenade.

Those 'Juicers' (people that are paid to charge them at home) should grab it eventually.
