@NativeSantaCruz @EricPoppen1 In engineering terms it’s all a culvert. The combination of the pipe, walls and roadway make it a culvert. A bridge would stand above the creek without the pipes and walls. 🤓

@RyanMeckel Finishing touches going in now.

@zennonuc @CityofSantaCruz @RyanMeckel Great work advocating for multi modal transportation and housing. Looking forward to seeing what you do next and don’t forget about us in Santa Cruz.

[Matt Starkey @mattybikes]

@TomBertulis So exciting to see that coming to fruition.

[Matt Starkey @mattybikes]

@mtrem2 Is that a new micromobity?

[Matt Starkey @mattybikes]

@LukeBornheimer @WarrenJWells Based on the cutouts thru the median buffer I’d guess needing to save on drainage relocation could factor in too. Would be nice to see beveled cubs against the bikeway but that 6” gutter pan is a nice touch.

[Matt Starkey @mattybikes]

@PetruSofio @WarrenJWells Requirements against pocket bike lanes in these situations would be a great start.

[Matt Starkey @mattybikes]

@WarrenJWells Thank goodness there’s a buffer on the bike left turn lane 😵‍💫

@claire_gallogly @_amy1ee We’ll add it to our reference library at work.

@TomBertulis @jerryschippa @apbp @pkoonce @itsuyen We squeezed a lot in a little space! The ID was about 65’. The spandex cyclists didn’t love it, but the novice cyclists were observed using the crossings like peds. Generally vehicles yielded to bikes but it’s an odd gray area in vehicle code. Would do again!

@mtrem2 Too accurate

[Matt Starkey @mattybikes]

@bikepedx Caltrans has a loaner program for local agencies maybe WSDOT does too?

[Matt Starkey @mattybikes]

@TomBertulis These are a super cool and helpful piece of bike infrastructure.

@CalBike has a great response to this article. https://t.co/W4RrkdraDi

As speedy, hefty e-bikes become ubiquitous around Santa Cruz, can regulation be far behind? https://t.co/9wf5Yu7QJt via @topherjneely

@bontrager_keith @LookoutSCruz @TopherJNeely Also curious why the “speed and heft” of automobiles, vehicles that are measurably more dangerous to kids, are not the subject of the article. Streetsblog offers some local options: https://t.co/Klp1WDTjwU

@zennonuc @urbanthoughts11 @humantransit Nice roundabout!

[Matt Starkey @mattybikes]

@StreetsblogSF Here’s what quick build separated bike lanes with water walls look like in Santa Cruz:

[Matt Starkey @mattybikes]

@brianrmcguire @prinzrob The Urban Bikeway Design Guide references “raised medians is other barriers”. Also Design Information Bulletin 89 from Caltrans references “physical barriers”. Finding a curb that contrasts with the asphalt, is placed within the striping, and is bigger could help too.

[Matt Starkey @mattybikes]

@prinzrob @brianrmcguire Plus CAMUTCD references the NACTO guide which is a huge protection from “liability”.

[Matt Starkey @mattybikes]

@sfstandard Good. It already costs more round trip to cross the bay on BART or by ferry.
