    Phase II detour was in place this morning. This is the one where you take that other paved path heading south from Lynn towards Roosevelt Island.

    It is all paved, so that is good.

    I have a feeling it will be less safe in terms of crossing the IOD heading north. So that is not so good.

    Combined with the Roosevelt Island lot detour, my commute is regularly changing.

    I swear I’ve looked at the plans at least 7 times and I still have NO clue what is or is going to happen. I came in a different way this am but I’ll come home through there today so I’ll see it.

    Last night it was a bit of a cluster as riders were waiting for the leading pedestrian interval (LPI) walk signal at the regular crosswalk and jamming up the limited space between the road, the “trail closed” signage, and the entrance to the detour. The separation between the detour and the cars turning right onto Key Bridge will be a problem especially when the LPI is disobeyed because no one is coming eastbound to remind drivers of it.

    That is exactly what I was thinking might occur.

    Can we get a LARGE NO TURN ON RED sign installed for at least the time of the detour? Who do we need to pester, the county or VDOT?
