City crews were out painting the Fell Street Bike Lane Green. Photo by: ibikenopa.blogspot.com

We’re thrilled to see the City continue to experiment with green pavement to designate bicycle right-of-way along important bike routes and this time it’s on the Fell Street bike lanes (just around the corner from the Scott Street green bike box). We’re eager to see whether the use of green on Fell Street can call more attention to the bike lane and make it easier and safer for everyone traveling through this intersection. The City deserves credit for implementing long-overdue improvements at this confusing intersection and working to increase the safety of everyone who uses this street, but of course we’ll all be watching closely to see whether this solution is enough.
