Foster Streetscape Nearing Completion
Bike lane stripes have been painted.
As you can see from this post in April-18, it was just over one year ago that the Foster Streetscape construction began.
We spoke to the PBOT yesterday and they let us know that the project is in the final push of completion. They hope to wrap up by next week.
Lo and behold, after last night, we have bike lanes!
We also confirmed with PBOT that the speed limit on Foster Road is 25 MPH. Feedback was given that more speed limit signs need to be added, if that’s the case.
