Salivating for mid-block crosswalks, more armored bike lanes, daylit intersections, and more on the west coast, too.

I think it could work here! My US city does concrete bike lane berms. Cars have to park in designated areas because they can't cross the concrete blocks or planters. My city has been putting in some speedhumps, too. The only complaint is that the infrastructure needs to be going in even faster to make it safe and approachable to whole families!

We're making some progress as well. We're getting a bike path to finally join one path through the city with the intercity path, so that's nice. But I don't think I've ever ridden on a road with physical separation between the bike lane and the road. Either the bike path is completely separate or it's a bike lane in the door zone.
