There is a bike path, but... 🤷

Two steps forward, one step back. :)

Bratislava: čo vzniklo v roku 2022

Napriek pomerne veľkému počtu rozbehnutých projektov mesta na výstavbu kvalitných oddelených cyklotrás sa ani v roku 2022 nedostala žiadna z nich do realizačnej fázy. Najbližšie k realizácii sú zrejme cyklotrasy na Mlynských nivách, Hradskej či O4 v Petržalke. Samostatné cestičky V tejto kategórii "pribudla" len jedna trasa realizovaná mestom, aj to je len (takmer) kozmetická...

@notjustbikes I figured I'd take a look at the place myself. After all, the article was from january...

Well... There's more trees. :)

@ticho @notjustbikes Depending on how busy that path is, the trees might be a good thing. They’re providing shade to folks and make the street feel narrower, which will slow down drivers. Removing a car lane for for more biking and walking space would be preferred of course.

@lordra @notjustbikes Theoretically a good point, but unfortunately the orientation is all wrong. The photo is taken more or less directly towards the west, and the sun goes in an arc to the left (south) during the day. So the only ones who get shade from those trees are the cars, waiting for green light on the large crossroad about 50m behind the camera. :)

I like your "assume good faith" attitude, though! 👍

@ticho @notjustbikes haha not trying to assume good faith. Definitely a bad design. Just appreciating urban trees.
