I lumberjacked the orange cones out of the way this morning. You’re welcome.

Imagine the traffic-calming effect if the cones were lumberjacked onto the lane lines between the vehicle lanes where the crossing SHOULD be at Manchester.

Scouting around, the “Better Detour” recommended by some users of this forum had been spray chalked, too…

So mysterious…

That’s on me.

Seriously, start a campaign. One option: wait until the detour has been in place for a week, then organize the “laps” of cyclists taking the lane on Glebe. Have an easy handout to distribute to drivers who get annoyed (I’m imagining a quarter sheet that says something like “We don’t want to ride here either” and a web site for the campaign/petition). Come with a solution in mind, and be ready to work with the County to make something happen.

I bet October 5th at 10am would get a lot of attention.

On the other hand, why are there petitions for cycle tracks in Ballston and never a petition about getting better accommodation for the Four Mile Run construction? I’d imagine that it would be easy to get a lot of signatures.

Because nobody has created one. Go for it!

I’d actually prefer that the southbound bike lane on Crystal be converted to a sharrow since it’s become additional parking and I’ve never seen any type of parking enforcement in Crystal City ever. Missed revenue opportunity for Arlington I say. I’ve been taking the lane a lot more when I’m not biking with Komorebi. I’ll have to discuss our Crystal Drive strategy.

I fail to see a downside to the strategy of just calling the police non-emergency number every morning before leaving for work and complaining that there is someone parked illegally in that bike lane. Either they’ll send someone over or they won’t. If they don’t, at least you’ve highlighted the problem. If they do, changes are they’ll find someone and ticket them or ask them to move along which will deter further parking and clear the way for you when you bike through. If they don’t find anyone to ticket, they’ll just assume the person who was blocking the lane left before they got there…

Ahh. So yall are telling me i need 2 more bikes!!

Yes, at least 2 more. Treat yourself, you deserve it! Think of the savings in healthcare costs down the line!

I imagine a quick email to Arlnow suggesting that horse urine is openly running through a public space would certainly bring some quick attention to the issue.

What are you all waiting for? Get out there and ride this thing before all the ninja-joggers and aggressive dimwits take over.

It doesn’t have to be registered and the owner doesn’t need a special license, so I’d say she should go ahead and make the purchase and not give it a second thought.

This x 100

Just do it.

Is an upstanding citizen going to get in trouble for helping with trail maintenance like we are discussing, if they so choose to take it on? I live on Washington Blvd. where they planted trees a few years ago along with new sidewalks, and some of those trees have branches overhanging the bike lane. I’d like to trim them for the commuters that use the lane if I am not going to get chewed for doing it.

Can you imagine the PR nightmare if they gave you shit for doing THEIR JOB because they can’t be bothered? Be like Nike, Just Do It.

Collards aren’t any better than bollards, and hard to remove without an angle grinder

Isn’t this where “Enabler” would tell you how to remove the stop sign yourself? 😮

I mean, it’s not like screwdrivers are difficult to get your hands on…
