Who on earth approved planting trees under power lines and others next to side walk? Holes dug some planted and now I expect the city is on the hook for change orders to correct.

Well how tall are the trees expected to grow vs the height of the lines?

What kind of trees are they? A lot of hybrids out there meant for urban forestry and those settings.

Hence why I'll ignore the bike lanes and drive a safe distance from the vehicles in the right lane.

You can't just add a bike lane and make the driving lanes unsafe, especially when there's a sidewalk right fricking there

I noticed the same. Planting trees 4 feet apart and 2 feet from the sidewalk. Absolute lunacy.

And now, they have narrowed the lanes and painted a bike lane. Don’t bother ADDING a bike lane, no. Just move the lines and make the lanes narrow.
