SDOT installed a protected cycle lane on N 130th to the east of Stone Way N as of this afternoon. I didn't check, but I'd assume it will go all the way east to 1st Ave NE. The westbound cycle lane was yet to be installed, but it was marked so It should be installed soon (tomorrow, I assume).

One major setback I see is that the cycle lane is separated by flex posts, as opposed to the concrete barriers SDOT is planning on using for the NE 130th/125th corridor safety improvement project.
