Shoreline’s solution to the fact that the road is now too narrow after they’ve added a big curb for no good reason since neither a side walk or bike lane continues past 5th.

     Paint a double yellow stripe down the middle and it’s all good.  Never mind the fact that a car can’t really fit there.  Notice to the right by the stop sign, there is NOTHING past that curb, it serves absolutely no purpose other than as an additional waste of tax payer dollars.

     Here is the other end of it.  You’ll notice the road doesn’t go past this intersection, which is why there is no significant traffic, which is why a $680,000 divided bike lane was totally unnecessary.

     For contrast, here is a picture of the road at this intersection that goes in either direction perpendicular to this road, 1st Ave.

     1st Avenue, which actually DOES go somewhere and actually has some real traffic, has neither a divided bike trail or even side walks!  Incredible.
