Description
Road was just paved and re-marked and heading west on Lassiter Mill road the road suddenly without warning goes from two lanes to one because of the new bike lane marking. This will cause accidents.

The city’s Office of Transportation planning reviews the city’s resurfacing list every year to see where bike infrastructure can be added to match the bike plan. The bike lanes from Pamlico to Ramblewood were installed to make the connection to the existing bike infrastructure south of Ramblewood.
New markings were installed for the right lane drop with a right arrow-“ONLY”-right arrow in addition to a “Right lane Must turn right” sign being installed. Staff will verify that these items are in place and add an additional “New Traffic Pattern” warning sign for both directions of travel.

I drive this every day and have noticed most vehicles almost wreck at that point. Regardless of the statement above by the city of Raleigh, it's not enough if there's still an ongoing issue. And did the public have any input into this? I'm in favor of bike lanes, but this decision was a horrible one and the city should consider changing it back before 1) a biker is involved in an accident or 2) cars have multiple accidents.
This case should not be closed if it's still an issue. Closing it only means it's actually been resolved.

that this issue was over 60 days old. What else was I to think?
