New Congress st paving without bike lanes

[Liz Trice]

Does anyone know the process for the recent Congress street paving? 

Makes me so angry to see that they repaved it with two lanes each way and no bike planes at all. After all this vision zero talk! Especially since it goes down to one lane between Stevens and Frost… It doesn’t make any sense.

It might be better, if resources aren't sufficient to add bicycle infrastructure and address unsafe pedestrian conditions to just *not repave a road until they are*.

Smooth roads lead to higher speeds. When you replace a dangerous design with the same design but smoother it compounds.  

We might be able to replicate pot holes with strategic random rumble strips, but it really seems like this kind of thing just makes us less safe and wastes money. 

The lack of any public process around routine repaving doesn't even allow us to investigate how necisary it is.
