When bollards marking bike lanes are mowed down by drivers as fast as they can be replaced, it’s no wonder cyclists feel like they’re under siege. One of our columns last month was about the large number of bollards that separate the cycling lane from traffic on Richmond St. W., flattened by vehicles that stray from their lane and veer into the bike path. Bollards missing from alongside the cycling lane on Richmond St. were replaced after a Fixer column last month. They’re more of a reminder to drivers to steer clear of the cycling lane than any sort of protection. We went back earlier this week and found that two of the four bollards replaced near Portland had already been mowed down.
