the bike lane paint is missing from Market st to Locust st.
Drivers use the bike lane for a car lane between Market st and Walnut st all the time.

"The principal trend that emerges from the papers reviewed here is that clearly-marked, bike-specific facilities (i.e. cycle tracks at roundabouts, bike routes, bike lanes, and bike paths) were consistently shown to provide improved safety for cyclists compared to on-road cycling with traffic or off-road with pedestrians and other users. Marked bike lanes and bike routes were found to reduce injury or crash rates by about half compared to unmodified roadways."

This is has been acknowledged by Philly 311 under ticket #639400 for action by Phila. Streets Dept. (spt)

Any update on this? Thanks, 311.

Acknowledged By (spt). Ticket #6821585 forwarded to Phila. Streets Dept. for action.

Still no action from the Streets Dept. on this.

9 months later, this has not changed. No progress whatsoever. Bike lanes remain faded and dangerous. Come on, Streets Dept! What's so difficult about painting some stripes?

This STILL has not been fixed. It was "acknowledged" over a year ago. What exactly is the point of 311?

Please, lets get this fixed!
