Thanks for reporting. But those bike lanes are no longer new – for more than 4 months I have been seeing lots of cars regularly parked (illegally) in the bike lanes along Telegraph there. The lanes are not designed clearly enough for drivers to figure it out, and the city is failing to enforce the law there, which makes for especially dangerous traffic conditions there.

Regarding the Telegraph Ave bikeway in general, the city will be installing additional flex posts and signage in about a week or so to help alleviate some of the confusion about where drivers should & shouldn't go. A larger-scale, state-funded project ($4.6M) will be constructed in 2018, upgrading the facility and extending it to around 41st Street. This will include more substantial separation between the bike and car traffic, better pedestrian crossings, and bus stop improvements.

In the longer term there is a proposal for that entire block of Telegraph between 22nd and 21st, which will replace the parking garage and the burger joint with a multistory development. The visualizations I've seen show the new driveways for that structure as being moved to the side streets.

I look forward to further enhancement of bike lanes here but right now they are confusing to motorists who use this section infrequently and I believe quite dangerous for bicyclists.
