I live right here and work at the medical center.
A green lane would be nice to reinforce the separation of the lanes. Everything on 17th gets messy because of people parking in the bike lane. I’d like to have stretches with more barriers.
Making lefts is really tough because we have to merge into traffic which is not ideal.
I’m a very cautious biker, having grown up in the city. I’m most aware when I have to go around a car that’s stopped in a bike lane.
