Striping for the West Chestnut Street parking-protected bike lane began on August 7, 2017 — right on schedule.

To mark (and explain) the occasion, we created the below video. Enjoy.

Can we get another update on this? I noticed they’ve reached 34th now with striping. When does this official become a bike lane? People are still parking as normal.

We don’t have an update on the completion date, but as of now it is still not an official bike lane and, therefore, cars parking in it are parking legally.
