New bike lane on Comal

This has been a couple years in the making, but wanted to post this here today. The city striped this today, No Parking signs went up as well. The first photo is Comal between 5th & 6th looking north. The second photo is Comal north of East 7th st looking north. This bike lane has been much needed for many years. It's a long hill and cyclists need the space to climb. Southbound on Comal will continue to allow parking, but will add Sharrow markings. It's downhill, so that makes sense. This was a compromise between the neighborhood, business owners, and the city. Pretty happy with the results.
