What the heck is a "bike track"? Is it a bike lane, a separated/protected bike lane?
I've looked at a lot of these documents and never seen "bike track" before.
In Spanish it appears to be "Adición de una ciclovía protegida elevada" which seems to translate to "elevated protected bike path".
@rasterweb I believe it's an american localization of the term "cycle track"
@SnoopJ I've just never seen "bike track" used for a bike lane before... the Spanish version sort of makes more sense. Most of these documents are only in English but this is a part of the city that is heavily Hispanic.
@rasterweb elevated bike track is nice. Mostly you have to watch out for pedex in them instead of cars. Generally safer?
@rasterweb I’m curious who is responsible for snow blowing and shoveling tho
@epu The city takes care of it, just like the roads.
@rasterweb and you won’t get road construction signs on them ideally when there is road construction. Dumpsters / trash is maybe a challenge, will folks put their crap in the street or block the bike lane?
@epu I have video, of course. 😉 Last week someone put their bin out in the area where it encroached about 6 inches into the bike lane. I did not kick it over. 😜
@epu Oh yeah, I just haven't seen that verbiage used before. Here's Lisbon Ave. where I think this is a separated/protected bike lane... but maybe it's a "bike track"?
