Curbs have been replaced in spots and the outside edges have been shaved. I hope they do a good paint job after. The paint was confusing with the initial road diet and last year's reapplication only made things worse.
I never found it that bad, in a few places the old marks weren't so clearly removed, and a few places errors were made, but most of the road seemed fine.
In any case, the new stuff will be great---for about 3-4 weeks until drivers who drive in the bike lanes cause the paint to wear away.
For the most part, it's fine, but I find they did some weird things at the west Westheights/Highland intersection when they repainted last year. Instead of going over the existing lines, they added a new line which takes cars into the bike lane turning onto Westheights and is not very clear where the left turn lane onto Highland begins.
Mind you, this issue is at the intersection, which will be replaced next year when they reconstruct Highland, so we may have to wait another year for the paint to be updated, whether it's for a standard intersection or roundabout.
