Maybe. Honestly, this is why I’m wishy-washy about this sort of thing. I can’t see spending much energy to fight for it, and of course I’m not going to fight against it if it’s all we got, because I do think painting a picture of a bike on a street is better than nothing.
But the Crystal Drive situation is a good example: If we can convince the County we have a few extra feet, is it better to make the painted southbound bike lane protected and have no north bound bike lane (that will be on Clark/Bell), or is it better to have 2, paint-only bike lanes, one of which is to the right of a transitway, and the other to the left of parking?
I am not sure I know the area well enough to say, but my instinct would be the PBL, with NB on Clark/Bell. Especially as E-W connectivity improves (?) that should leave absolutely needed residual NB movement short enough that those folks unwilling to take the lane NB can be accommodated on the sidewalk (esp when it gets wider – till then they can dismount and walk if necessary)
