Failing Grade

So I just drove the McLoughlin project area for the first time. Here are my impressions:

1. It seems the city has inexplicably targeted McLoughlin on the wrong side of Reserve for these "improvements". McLoughlin east of Reserve has some natural traffic calming features, west of Reserve not so much.

2. The design incorporates bizarre features, like speed humps in uphill portions of bike lane, and bus stops that block the bike lane. Scary, painful, and dangerous.

3. Overall, it seems less safe for cyclists than it was before, and unnecessarily tough for drivers. And what about the sidewalks? They are a mess. Please review "Complete Streets" fundamentals.

I give this project an "F".
