The mayor’s husband is a big biker. So is councilwoman Hubbard. This group seems to be getting preferential treatment all over the city. Just ask the neighborhood on Cerro that the mayor is trying to take away their parking for a bike lane despite all the neighbors begging them not to.

If people would stop walking, dog walking, skateboarding etc in the bike lane it might actually be safe to ride there but they don't. And it's not.

The whole situation and project is a total disaster and has made a safe corridor for all UNSAFE! Vote the "powers" that did this out in November and return this corridor to its beauty and safety for all it once was.

I saw this new "bike" lane ajacent to the second bike lane for the first time this weekend. No one was using it at the time, and rightfully so. One of the dumber things I've seen in a while.

Close this when you address the issues of safety for all users in this area! Somebody is going to get killed (already multiple injuries)!

Hear hear! Cyclists are already so full of themselves (on average: I’m sure some are very nice) and to give them even more reason to believe they rule all roads and can go where they please is RIDICULOUS.

Dumbest traffic setup in North County. Of course the cyclists are to blame so let's run them off the road!

Folks, be aware that the cycling community DID NOT WANT the change to the 101. They were perfectly happy with the long-standing bike lane which had not caused any accidents. Cyclists protested against this change, so please don't blame them.
There have now been 19 cyclists crashes that we know of on this section because of the segregated Cycletrap and the barriers and posts in the road.
The cycling community is pushing to have this eye sore restored to how it was , meaning drivers would get two clear lanes again.
Please also protest to the city. Drivers got screwed, cyclists got screwed.

What Shaun said plus please know since that new “bike lane” is physically separated from the roadway by the wheel stop barriers and bollards it’s technically/legally a “class 4 bikeway”, not a bicycle lane, which means cyclists are not legally required to use it.

That’s why cyclists are allowed to use the roadway and they are allowed full use of the lane because it’s so narrow (edge riding in such a narrow lane invites dangerously close within-lane passing - please change lanes to pass). The Bikes May Use Full Lane signs and sharrows are mere reminders of these facts; they don’t enable them.

But, yes, the immediate solution is to remove the physical separation and restore the class 2 bike lanes.
The long term solution is a road diet reducing the number of travel lanes in each direction from 2 to 1, and replacing all the traffic lights on 101 and Chesterfield with roundabouts. The road diet would create space for creating a two way multi use path as well as bikes lanes in each direction.
