15th Avenue South at the north tip of Beacon Hill has been restriped, with a bike lane added to one side of the street and sharrows to the other side.

This part of 15th tends to have drivers who drive excessively fast. Cyclists, remember the bike lane doesn’t guarantee your safety, so please be careful out there; drivers, please watch out for cyclists both here on 15th and elsewhere on the hill, and remember that it is illegal to drive in the bike lane.

Google Maps shows this area as it was until recently.

(The dedicated bike lane does run only a few blocks before going back to “sharrows”, but it’s a start! — Jason)

  1. Now could we maybe get someone to clear the glass and assorted debris out of the bike lanes? I’m not so happy when my choices are to (1) ride over tire-popping glass and other detritus or (2) swerve into traffic to get around the mess.

    Thanks much.
