Around where I live (Tamarac, FL) roadworks is currently underway everywhere.

At first I thought "great, they're tearing up the road to replace water lines." After all, water had been shut down to my neighborhood twice.

Funny thing is, I never saw any pipes. And as time's gone on, the results of the work look is starting to look suspiciously like.. bike lanes!

What a welcome development. I read the paper's website every day (well, front page only, but still) and don't recall seeing anything on it. I had to google it to find something.

It is indeed bike lanes and supposedly bike paths. (http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2012-04-06/news/fl-cn-bikepaths-0408-20120406_1_path-network-cypress-creek-greenway-first-phase)

Apparently people had been clamoring for this in surveys. (What surveys? Never seen one..)

What a welcome development. Bravo, Tamarac!

I still hate the dust you leave all over my Rotary Rocket and in my house :lol: (seriously, the concrete dust is unbelievable.)
