The beginning of a safe streets for everyone future

Fun to watch some of the new safe street changes going in around town in a couple of locations. The idea is to slow down cars and make it safer and inviting for bicycles, pedestrians and other folks to also use the streets. Even though I am a casual bicycle rider, some of the new lane configurations along Petaluma Blvd. South had me confused. So I got two other serious bike experts to come along and help me answer some of the questions people have about how the new lane striping is meant to be used, what's finished, what isn't done yet, what seems to be working and what might not yet be working with the street design changes. It's a work in progress, for sure.
