Glenwood Avenue, in North Minneapolis, after repaving.

Glenwood Avenue, in North Minneapolis, was repaved and restriped during the summer of 2006. There is no accomodation for bicyclists, even though the street is wide enough for driving lanes, on-street parking, and comfortable biking.

Here's a view of how things could be instead - why can't we mark the edges of driving lanes on every street so that it's safer and more comfortable for bicyclists? (Especially if we are already out there painting lanes for cars). Incidentally, there are no pedestrian crossings marked anywhere on this newly-painted street.
