Cars are actually driving in the cycle lane--and driving fast since they assume the lane was built for them personally. http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-159097 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 21:12:44 EDT http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158909 The partial construction has led to some danger. For example, the two left lanes on L turning onto 19th allow for left turns during rush hour. However, there is now a bike lane between those two lanes, and the sign remains. Someone is going to get hit if they don&#39;t fix this ASAP. http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158909 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 22:44:23 EDT http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158808 It&#39;s great they have built it and it will really increase the number of folks cycle commuting. My only worry is the number of driver idiots who will try to turn left from the right side of that lane. http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158808 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 10:39:39 EDT http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158762 Why not all the way down L to Mass? Or am I getting greedy? Or was it a decision to discourage people from biking down Mass (which is pretty unsafe in that area, esp. during rush hour). http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158762 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 13:55:59 EDT http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158757 Not exactly the safest scenario having left turning vehicles to the right of the bike lane, but hopefully those parked cars will catch on that they&#39;re actually parked in the left turn lane and the left turning vehicles will realize they&#39;re supposed to merge over...The road has been painted just fine, but a good number of bollards and much of signage seems to be still missing. http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158757 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 13:04:34 EDT http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158725 It will get better. The 15th St. cycle track had a lot of short comings when it first opened but after left turn signals and better signs were put in it became much better. So will the L Street track. http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158725 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 17:04:39 EDT http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158708 That&#39;s great news! We need one or two good east-west bike lanes in this city. Thanks for the update and for the photos. http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158708 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 13:22:22 EDT http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158706 Nick, That will become a turn lane. It used to be a parking lane. I don&#39;t think the new signs are up yet, so drivers can be excused for some confusion. <p>If they&#39;re still parking there a week from now, then we&#39;ll have a problem.</p> http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158706 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 12:32:42 EDT http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158701 @NickD; yes, cars were parked there. They have removed the rest of the parking signs so another design fail. http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158701 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 12:01:44 EDT http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158700 @DaveAlpert; yep, thanks for the right street. <p>However, same problem. Honestly that part is too crowded -- or they should have taken out the parking. One lane is not enough for that area. the Rosslyn-Dupont circulator is going to be very difficutl to use.</p> http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158700 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 12:00:52 EDT http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158699 So I&#39;m confused. It looks like this is a protected, painted bike lane near Connecticut Avenue with parking inbetween the bike lane and the curb. <p>Is that right? is that a turn lane?</p> <p>If its a parking lane that seems like a big mistake with the flexible bollards that were put up to make bicyclists safer.</p> http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158699 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 11:55:30 EDT http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158698 charlie: It&#39;s a painted bike lane, not a cycle track, from 25th to NH. http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158698 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 11:45:38 EDT http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158697 Actually, they seem to be running it from 22nd -- on the narrower part of L st -- which is going to be bad. After NH Ave, L st has too much room. Before that it doesn&#39;t. http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/16608/l-street-cycle-track-about-half-done/#comment-158697 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 11:33:45 EDT
