Cycle track & bus stops: self-regulating sidewalk ballet
When you have a couple of minutes to watch a video, here's an excellent example of a protected bike lane (cycle track) with "floating bus stops" in San Francisco. Peds and cyclists seem to be able to negotiate the crossover space nicely. It's similar in concept to our cycle track on Pembina with bus stop crossovers but a step up in design.

If you watch the video, you’ll note that the bicycle lane is at street level grade (rather than elevated through the island) and is not the same colour as the sidewalk.

Thanks for this David. It is nice to see such nice sharing of space. I did note there was no one visible using a cane or guide dog or mobility device in the video so I would be curious if the experience is the same for them.
I know…here is that thorn, Judy, again…

Hello,
I'm interested in mobility policy issues related to people with varied needs. Could you specify a little your question, i.e. what is the issue you are trying to raise? Are you suggesting this should not be done?That there should be something modified in the design?
Kind regards, François
