It’s weird how when the Department of Transportation is using the bike lane, they give themselves an entire car lane for protection.

Butt hurt much?

Why didnt they barricade the car lane off and use that to install the bike barrier lane protectors from ? Use stop / go personell so cars can use the other lane.

They've blocked the entire cycle lane with what looks like a compressor up ahead as well (presumably to supply a pneumatic drill for the bolts)

Or here's an idea, install concrete barricades from the back of a truck with a crane that actually project cyclists from being murdered.

    That is an idea, but it has nothing to do with this post. You've taken my criticism of OP and spun it into something completely different. The post isn't about the safety of the bike lane. It's about the supposed hypocrisy of closing down the car lane while doing construction work in it. It's asinine. You can piss and moan about the barriers not being enough, but regardless of the device being installed, closing off that section of the car lane (and bike lane for that matter) is the only prudent thing to do for the safety of those workers.

    Please go back to Facebook, YouTube comments, or even Reddit with this petulant behavior.

    No one here wants this sort of low quality, personally, attacking, bratty behavior in their discussions.
