[...] Transit Miami posted images of the new bike lanes painted out on Coral Way and found them seriously lacking in design. I have to agree. Even the ones on Griffin Road in Broward don’t even at every street corner. While Felipe Azenha of Transit Miami has some very excellent ways other cities have improved their bike lanes, I don’t think it’s enough to just paint the intersection portions of the bike lanes green. People here are retarded when they drive. There is no way to fluff it. They just seem to lose all patience and sensibility. Besides, this isn’t how you bargain. You don’t start in the middle and work your way down. Let’s shoot for the top and if we are lucky, we get it. [...]

The FDOT can look at how the NYC DOT has ensured safety for cyclists in a congested area with a center-median, two-way, protected bike path… http://www.infrastructureusa.org/sands-street/

looks like a patchwork quilt designed by a 7 year old.

Rog, start a movement. Miami’s recent success is largely due to its growing advocacy movement.

I wonder when bicycle lanes are going to be extended into the Northern Suburbs of Opa-Locka, North Miami, Miami Gardens, North Miami Beach and so on? A lot of residents in these areas ride for commute, not just for pleasure.

Thanks Anon. Its too bad FDOT did not bring in Mr. Robinson to take a peek at the Coral Way project. Most of the recommendations that were made are fairly simple to implement, and only require a little foresight and some paint. It’s never too late to make it better.

FDOT does have a bicycle consultant, his name is Stewart Robertson and he works for Kimley-Horn, he is quite knowledgeable and is a huge improvement. Thing is FDOT didn’t have someone doing this for them when they were asked to add bike lanes by the City.
