Those bike arrows are going to get someone hurt or killed, you just watch and see. The bikers will think they have the right away just because of some overpriced logo painted on the streets and they will get creamed by a car. Hell, they don’t even pay attention to other cars. Besides, the rain is already washing the arrows away. Wait until we have a winter on them with the salt and plows and they will be gone. Then the idiots on the council will want to spend more money repainting them.
Bet if they had them white bicycle decals plasterd all over the streets like mason, this would have never happened!!!
