Fernwood north of Democracy |
Fernwood Road, near where the new "Grandview" senior living community is going in has been under construction for a while. There was even a time where one direction was entirely closed. This is between Democracy Blvd and Montgomery Mall. (Not sure what they call it now, maybe WestLakeField Montgomery ShoppingMallTown?)
For a while it wasn't clear exactly what they were doing, but now you can clearly see that separated bike lanes are going in. They were starting to pave them when I went by. (The red dump truck on the left was delivering blacktop.)
Fernwood and Rock Spring Dr |
Here at the Rock Spring Drive intersection you can get a good look at the new bike lanes. To the left, behind the trees is where the Marriott headquarters was. One of the new residential buildings can be seen peeking over the trees.
Fernwood and Rockledge |
They are working on what I think will be the main entrance to the Grandview on the left. Going up the hill (which is the bridge over I-270) the bike lanes are fully in and paved.
The start |
This is facing the other direction on the bridge. The separated bike lanes start here right behind the arrow sign. It's a bit unclear how this spot will look when they are done.
Fernwood near Democracy / The other end |
They aren't nearly as far along at the Democracy end of Fernwood. They haven't even gotten the sidewalk replaced. Since there are 3 lanes of traffic here (two left-only onto Democracy and one right-only onto Democracy. There is no straight to continue on Fernwood, even though just the other day I saw someone go straight here).
Out with the new |
