continued: Hennepin Av South of Lake street gets worse from a wintertime bike & walk perspective. One block (between 31st and Lake) is decent. South of 31st, and it's poorly shoveled sidewalks and bike lanes, with cars winning out. Details in alt text. #BikeNite A8 #MNastodon
Parked cars to the left are "forced" partway into a painted bicycle lane. Frozen slush covers the bicycle lane and painting on the street that designates it as a bicycle lane. Part of the line separating the automobile lane from the bike lane is visible through the slush. The third and fourth parked cars markedly encroach on the bicycle lane, and the conditions render it virtually unusable as a bike lane. The automobile lane is damp, but mostly free of snow and slush. Large victorian homes and some commercial buildings line the street; the sky is grey and trees are leafless. Location: Hennepin Avenue south of 31st Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
An urban street with a car in a damp (but clear) automobile lane; a painted bicycle lane has slush; slush frozen to the street is more abundant in the right half of the lane, nearest the curb. The bicycle lane is still useable for intrepid cyclists, but nowhere near as safe and well-maintained as the separated bicycle lane described in another photo. Location: Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota, south of Lake Street. Conditions are like this for one single block, between Lake Street & 31st Street.
Note: this is outside of the newly completed rebuild to the north, between Lake & Franklin.
Frozen snow and slush occupies 2-3 feet between the curb and parked cars, forcing the parked cars into a painted bicycle lane (not shown). A clear sidewalk is to the right. Location: Hennepin Ave Minneapolis, south of 31st street.
