Nancy L. Fagin replied to John Greenfield's discussion 'CDOT is now defining buffered bike lanes as "protected" and counting them towards its 100-miles goal'"Many thanks - I think there should be zones - denser populated areas need protected lanes (downtown), then phasing into buffered (with good coats of paint) in out lying areas.

Nancy L. Fagin replied to John Greenfield's discussion 'CDOT is now defining buffered bike lanes as "protected" and counting them towards its 100-miles goal'"Would you please show a picture of what is being defined as a buffered zone vs the barrier protected zones?

Bill Savage replied to Nancy L. Fagin's discussion 'One day it's there, the next day it's gone!'"Was the bike there for many days first, or did this just happen after one day? People abandon perfectly fine bikes all the time. "

I've been biking to my warehouse space nearly everyday and at Ashland and Erie (SW corner) there was a nice red Trek. Yesterday the rear wheel was missing. "Oh", I thought,"the owner took the rear wheel inside..." Today, (Sunday), only the front wheel is left.I didn't notice the model or the size, but now it's gone. NancySee More
