The reason that so many bollards marking the Woodbine Avenue bike lanes have been crushed may have a lot to do with trash and recycling collection. “I use the Woodbine bike lanes, as does my family,” said Russell Gienapp. As for my question about bollard damage caused by garbage trucks, the city offered what I would charitably call a non-answer. To me, that means the garbage trucks are at the top of the suspect list. The way city trucks, such as solid waste vehicles, interact with bollards was an important discussion point when bollards were first installed.
