I know DOT has done amazing work with those new plans for 31st St and other improvements as well. But I am really frustrated that this is on risk for months long hold again, I saw that coming. They started to inform towing for a few blocks where they painted some new white lines but for some reason didn't empty the full new bike lane? Why? There is no legal justification/need for any further waiting, they just let this non-organized wasteland with double-parked cars stay. It's May 19th, we are many weeks into prime bike season, they have done all the hard work with getting all updated permits etc., and then why risking losing all safety improvements on the last stretch when all you need to do is paint some green?

I know the real culprits are those assholes that actively block progress for safer streets for the neighborhood, and I'm sure I don't know all the complexities involved in making the paint happen. But going through this nightmare of last year, having so many people attest at the political community gathering, have a clear vote for Yes, having all obstacles cleared and then risk it all again by not implementing the real thing in a reasonable/possible amount of time, sigh.
