Anybody got any pictures of Albert from Columbia to Erb to add to this reddit thread?

That's Columbia to Weber, not Columbia to Erb.

I went by there and took a bunch of photos today. I don't know how to add pictures here, but I created an album on imgur: https://imgur.com/a/HayqI1H

Wow...I'm amazed, I don't remember them saying to anyone they were going to do that. It's mostly pretty good. The floating bus stops are good (albeit the one looks tiny...), but otherwise it looks like an entirely typical north american protected bike lane.

Some strange choices like narrowing the bike lane at every entrance for some reason. And some typical choices like excessive turn radii and no protected intersections.

But for that to just come out of the blue...is really refreshing.
