More bike lane improvements coming

Good news, fellow bicycle commuters.

You know those scary narrow bike lanes on Lake Austin Boulevard between Exposition Boulevard and Red Bud Trail? Improvements are coming.

A project to widen the existing bike lanes and improve stormwater drainage on the route begins today and should be complete by fall, according to Nadia Barrera, bicycle/pedestrian project coordinator for the city of Austin.

This news makes me happy. I ride this path often during warm weather, pedaling from Walsh Boat Landing where I water ski a couple of mornings a week, to the Austin American-Statesman offices.

Bring it on!

My recent favorite “surprise” bike improvement was the 360/183/Jollyville bike path/sidewalk that connects Jollyville with 360 without having to go down and back up 360. Wonderful!
