Description
The bike lane on 55th between Shattuck and Market was just restriped. But, the new thermoplastic is super wobbly! It is if the contractor had been drunk. Please require the contractor to redo this. It is embarrassing to see this in the road.

I believe that this work was done in-house, not by a contractor, and the reason it’s wobbly is that the city’s maintenance division doesn’t own the typical equipment for striping long lane lines like this.
In fact, this lack of equipment was previously the reason city staff gave for why they couldn’t restripe the lane lines over the past many years that neighbors have been asking for it. So I’m glad if they got over it and managed to redo the lanes at all, albeit wobbly.
A full repaving project with bike lane and pedestrian crossing design opportunities is coming up in several years, so that will be an opportunity for a full replacement by a contractor.
