Comments on: Bike Lanes (?) on the Henderson http://ribike.org/2009/11/13/bike-lanes-on-the-henderson Working to make cycling in the Ocean State safer and more enjoyable for YOU Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:41:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Mark Dieterich http://ribike.org/2009/11/13/bike-lanes-on-the-henderson/comment-page-1#comment-25446 Mark Dieterich Sun, 15 Nov 2009 01:04:06 +0000 http://bikeprovidence.org/?p=1055#comment-25446 The final inspection of the bike lanes is scheduled in about two weeks time. We should see a full array of signs and pavement markings by then. I also think the lanes will need to be swept by then as well. I rode through the curb cut this morning, just to see what it was like. While I still think it's an accident waiting to happen, it was manageable. Of course, it was a raining Saturday morning and not during rush hour. The final inspection of the bike lanes is scheduled in about two weeks time.

I rode through the curb cut this morning, just to see what it was like. While I still think it’s an accident waiting to happen, it was manageable. Of course, it was a raining Saturday morning and not during rush hour.

The real issue is enforcing the speed limit on the bridge. I think it’s still an improvement, from what we had before. The real issue is enforcing the speed limit on the bridge.

While this won't fix the immediate problems, it was pointed out that the Henderson Bridge is <a href="http://www.planning.ri.gov/tip/tip912.pdf" rel="nofollow">included for rehabilitation in the 2009-2012 tip</a>. Perhaps it's time to shift our focus to doing it right the next time around. I just received an email from RIDOT.
