Repaving at the intersection of Mt Vernon and Commonwealth – they forgot to remark the bike where you’re supposed to wait to activate the signal.

Take a picture & document what it is, and where it’s located & post to this thread. Winner will be determined by the most unique entries.

At the end of July, 2020, a small passover bridge suffered a big sink hole on Temple Hills Rd in Clinton, MD. The sink hole is about 3 blocks from my house on a major thoroughfare. The effective area of the road was immediately closed. By the end of Sept. I started inquiring about it, because very little has been done besides closing it, and our local bus service got cut off because of the closer. To my surprise, I found out that the repair will take at least a year, and that the effective area of the road, less than a mile, will be widen with a bike path and walkway. Great news!!! Not so great, the bike lane will only be in the repair area (less than a mile) not the whole 4 miles area of that portion of Temple Hills Road.

Here I am using a bike from the new Capital Bikeshare station at National Airport. You can only get one of these if you have gotten one before, unfortunately, because it is pretty much impossible to find.

Central Park in NYC has a six mile loop that is closed to most motor vehicles. There are three lanes, foot traffic, human powered wheeled traffic (and ebikes), and pedicabs/Horse-drawn carriages/emergency & maintenance vehicles. The photo shows the narrowest section from the 6th Ave entrance to the 72nd St exit. This is looking north toward the carosel.
