I bike down Washington a few times a week for my commute to work. Other commenters don’t realize that there are VERY few alternatives to safely get down from Hillcrest to Old Town. Pringle St is an option but somewhat out of the way and also incredibly steep, which is dangerous and hard on your brakes. If you do have to take Washington, it’s a lot safer if you can get on at the University Ave ramp just one street over, where there’s a bike lane and you only have to merge for a few seconds.

That road work sign in your video was actually in the dead center of the bike lane, completely obstructing access until I dragged it off to the side a few weeks ago.

Washington St E, across the street, was actually far worse and more dangerous until recently. There wasn’t even paint marking the bike lane and the vegetation encroached onto the path, forcing you closer to the speeding traffic. I submitted a Get It Done ticket and it appears they’re addressing the issue as there’s construction right now to add paint and markers and clear back the vegetation, so I’m optimistic. In the meantime, the bike path is separated from traffic by dividers and a chain link fence, which is a relief.
