If you saw the cones and crews on SW Wildwood Place this morning, no, they’re not installing the protected bicycle lane yet – but this work is related. WSB contributor Anne Higuera stopped to ask. With rechannelization coming because of the bike lane/safety changes, she learned, they needed to find out how buses would navigate.
In particular, they wanted to find out what might happen if two buses had to pass. For one bus that went by while Anne was there, it was close.
Mayor Wilson signed a safety order in August including the mandate for the bike lane here – on the street where bicycist Maridee Bonadea was killed – by year’s end, and the SDOT crew said they’re still on that timeline.
