Trying to figure out: do I drop one of the warning flags in the next bike map release? Specifically the one with the arrow here:

From the Greater Northshore Bike Connector Map, three "Caution" markers on Juanita Drive in Kirkland, the southernmost of which has a red arrow calling it out in particular.

I was on the route today and it’s clear now, but the cones are still there, off the street. There’s no indication of immediate work but I don’t know why they’re still by the side of the road or even whether they’re public works vs. private landowners using them for other purposes. But the lanes are open there.

The north two definitely stay, and clearly will for months. That work is not going quickly. It’s far enough away from completion that I’m kind of thinking the bike lane markers should go away for now because they really are gone because of construction. They’re going to be put back – and put back improved – but they don’t exist now.

If I do replace them, I’ll replace them with sharrow because that’s the de facto reality on the ground now. They’re still part of the Lake Washington Loop and all that, but lanes? No, and they won’t be there for a while.

And dang, that is not a fun environment at this point.

yeah I should drop them down to sharrow for now. Reality on the ground, not in the theory.
