I’ve noticed in various places in the Bay Area that new and improved bike lanes are being added.

A good example is a Bubb Rd, the part north of McClellan, in Cupertino (which has a bunch of Apple offices): much improved signalization and there’s now a bumper divider between the car and bike lane, making it very safe.

They also added much improved commuter bus access islands.

This is just one example. There are others. I don’t know if it’s because of COVID or because these things were already planned, but the lack of usual commuter and school traffic definitely made it easier to do the work.

Yeah, sadly a kid died on that stretch a few years back — likely why they added the new improved bike lane.
