They can't be that competent if they're the same folks who installed a bike lane in the middle of the North/Howard intersection. Whoever is responsible for that should be banished West Virginia.

You answered the question. Before they put the barricade up cars were using the bike lane to make the left turn from North to Howard more than bikes ever were. North Ave is generally a shit show on a good day, so putting in a bike lane was a waste of time and money.

Come to think of it, I don't know that I've ever seen a cyclist on North Ave.

I’ve used it but it’s not an accessible bike lane. To be honest it doesn’t really go anywhere which is the problem. If all of North had a dedicated bike lane it would be used much more often, or at the very least if it connected to the Mt Royal path. Apparently that is in the works though.
