I've noticed at least two sections of green stripping on Michigan Avenue [[at Third) in the past few weeks. Anyone know what they are for?

Bike lanes. Green indicates where traffic intersects a bike lane to serve as a mental alert to both bikers and drivers.
Ferndale has already implemented similar features.
Amen! Maybe this will keep the yahoo's from using the bike lanes as a second driving lane. Doubt it but none the less a great improvement. I like the ones in Ferndale as they are very visible and clearly marked.
Thanks, everybody.
That's all nice showing love to cyclists. But where's the love for motorists? Fix those pot holes.

Wow. Your ignorance knows no bounds. They are not "car lanes," they are for general vehicle travel. Bikes are classified as vehicles, and therefore, are allowed to be there. The "bike lanes" are merely provided as a safer space for bikers to ride, separate from cars, but away from pedestrians, as bikes are not supposed to be on the sidewalk. Bikers are not required to use the bike lanes.Quote:
