The old bike lane on Broadway was sketchy but this new one is worse somehow
We had the old painted bike lane on Broadway that everyone complained about for 4 years. Drivers parked in it, people opened doors into it, all the usual stuff. Then the city ripped it out and put in a raised lane with flex posts 3 months ago. Now the flex posts are already busted up in 3 spots, and the raised curb collects leaves and garbage so bad I nearly wiped out last Tuesday. Anyone else find the new design actually more dangerous than the old one?

The flex posts look better than they work for sure.

Wait, 3 busted posts already? @leo567 I thought they were supposed to hold up better than that, but I guess not. I saw a car literally nudge one over the other day because it was already cracked at the base. And the garbage buildup thing is real, I kicked a wet leaf pile last week that was hiding a broken bottle. Honestly I'd take the old sketchy paint over this new junk any day. The city spent all that money and its somehow even worse lol.
