#Berkeley’s 2017 Bicycle Plan recommended seven improvements to the Russell St. #BicycleBoulevard. Five years later, the very first of these to be implemented, in part, is finally going in: an #RRFB at Russell & Claremont. As it turns out, there was a car vs. bike collision at this intersection two weeks ago.

I really hate RRFBs (which I think drivers ignore, unlike traffic lights or stop signs), but I’m glad anything at all is happening to make this treacherous crossing safer.

They really do their planning one project at a time? It seems like having a master bike design standard and just doing th e projects as funds become available would be a better approach. Like this is a bike street so we do X,Y, and Z on those. Then the discussion could be just on which streets are bike streets and how much do we spend rather than wasting time arguing about these little details.

@eastbaynian I’m not actually sure how they roll out plans. I didn’t know this was coming and I try to stay up on these things.
