Farewell, planter-protected bike lane.
Conversation
Of course, it never occurs to that, perhaps, there is unmet demand for seating in the area and that they might install, I don’t know, benches or something? 🤷♀️

Was this really a serious problem? When I’ve cycled on planter protected bike lanes I’ve generally found them to be great, in contrast to plastic wand protected lanes which are mediocre at best.

Maybe we could just line both sides? Then people could sit on the sidewalk side.

Fwiw, I exit the pbl at this point for safety, not sure how you got this shot so empty.

People using these as benches isn’t great, and a bike on pedestrian collision can cause injury. However, cars plowing over the white markers (happens on 2nd Ave all the time) is a more deadly issue. This change sucks.
