open #204475

Biking & Walking:

Other: on Rogers/Madison, where it changes name and crosses over the railroad tracks just north of 11th street, the bike lane is on the uphill side of the street. so at the apex, it switches from one side of the street to the other. at this switching point, we have lost our 'dashed line' merge zones. i am hoping that someone from Engineering will go look at the facts on the ground and validate its correctness. when it was conceptually designed back in 2011, i thought "gee they're gonna have to do a good job of signing that if it's not going to be a nightmare for cyclists to merge into traffic". and then when it was *finally* implemented around 2017-2019, it was just striped lines indicating that there is a merge. but when the bridge was re-decked in 2020-2021, they repainted it wrong. and subsequent generations of painting have each made it worse, to where the southbound merge zone is completely missing and cyclists are directed to stay in the abruptly-ending bike lane on the dangerous high speed downhill segment. and the northbound merge zone has been reduced to about 30 feet, again, at the wrong place for the merge.
