The 4th Ave/Fontana Bike Boulevard project is currently under construction. There have been several large changes to 4th ave and 6th ave in and near Northwest Neighborhood. The main changes are traffic calming devices along 4th Ave. Speed tables and roundabouts have been placed along 4th Ave between University and Grant Road. The stop signs at intersections have been changed to 4-way yield signs. Plants will be put in the roundabouts, as well as along 4th Ave.
The intersection at
Grant Road and 6th Ave has also been changed as of May 20th, 2011. Northbound motor traffic can no longer go straight down Fontana. Cars must either turn right or left onto Grant road. Cyclists can still head north at this intersection. Green painted "bike boxes" are meant to signify a bicycle specific area.
I think they are going to change the intersection at Speedway and 4th ave too.
ReplyDeleteI have seen cars sitting in the bike box. Some drivers have no idea what these markings mean.
ReplyDeleteThis is ridiculous. Its hard enough to get around here with out this nonsense.
