Anybody remember the old rail road tracks on Davidson Street east of Downtown? The asphalt was all chewed up, and the tracks were real man eaters. It was like it was a war zone littered with land mines – a total tire buster. And if you dared hit it with speed, the steel tracks were instant death. It claimed one of my own michelins just last year. RIP.
Now that you have an illustration of the past situation, check it out today …
Woah! Gone are those dastardly tracks! And we even have green swatches in the bike lane (photo snatched from Pat Clements). Fresh. I like it.
Something significant: I think this is the is the first can of green paint for us (cyclists) in Nashville.
Maybe next we’ll get one of those mythical bike boxes?
We are definitely headed in the right direction. In fact, I read that San Fransisco just got their first green bike box last year. Hopefully we aren’t far behind those West Coasters. Maybe we have an “in” with the green paint guy? I hope so. I’ll ask the Mayor next time I see him.
