well, looks like the train carrying both those commodities is rolling in for a fullstop in Fort Worth. the small adjustments AND the wholesale changes.


This is THE Fort Worth attached to the Dallas metroplex, right? looks good- what is Dallas doing, same thing?

our former mayor used to say 'paint is cheap!'.

a lot of these types of quite accommodating roadscape modifications suitable even for higher speed roads, like buffered bikelanes, etc can be done in relatively short order. if the first gothru isn't right, its easy to retrofit paint and intersection striping. A number of intersection designs improved here relatively quickly after initial implementation thru the process of evaluating the planning for bikes in the transportation mix.

Road diets can help facilitate greater ADT as well as provide more physical preferred class space for bicycle traffic.
