A lot of these would be normal buffer zones or shoulders, but were painted with bike symbols to get multimodal dollars. Or to get the public off their back.
…That Clearwater one is a downtown that during covid got changed from a single lane car street that was shared with bikes to outdoor seating. It’s not a street anymore.
Oh man, those green painted ones are such a low cost way for city gov't to say,"See?? We care, we're doing all this." I live in a city by Irvine and they did the same thing, and are just smuggly happy about what they've accomplished.
Sketch AF, you'll never catch me on something like this. Follow it 2 blocks east and a merge from another major road flows right across it. Follow it 2 blocks west and the whole mess goes under a diamond freeway interchange. This should have been sidewalk-level for sure.
