The bike lanes will connect to those on the already done portion of hillsboro street from Oberlin to Gardner.  Plus Hillsborough from Morgan to St Marys is plenty wide enough for bikes, it just isn't striped. This will be longest stretch of bike friendly pavement in the City.

I am admittedly out of the loop as I've been out of the Triangle for the last two years, but what is the status of the existing bike lanes on Hillsborough?  I seem to recall that they were painted officially as a pilot or something to be reevaluated later.  I know there was a lot of concern about how narrow and close to the door zone they were, with sharrows being suggested as an alternative.  Was it decided to make them permanent?

The segment between Woodburn and Morgan is only being resurfaced and restriped. A more significant reconfiguration and streetscape are still planned, so if whatever they do this time doesn't work out, they can fix it then.

Regarding the existing "bike lanes" between Enterprise and Gardner... yes, they are still the same temporary, narrow, too-close-to-the-car-door lanes.  Every time the scheduled decision time comes up, it is delayed.
