<p>Seems like they measured incorrectly? Originally, one side was wider than the other.

<p>My experiences in the last two weeks have been poor. USPS truck parked in, pedestrians willy-nilly stepping into the lane without looking, taxis picking up drivers. And I only need it for a few blocks (now that the Canal lane is gone). I think putting it right next to Ogilvie was a poor decision - there are just too many pedestrians there.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If they could fence in the sidewalk side that might make it safer for everyone! I much preferred Canal to Clinton.</p>

<p>From the article:</p>
<blockquote><p><span>“Well this is obviously mismanagement,” said Ken Roseman. “They have no idea what they’re doing and they couldn’t figure out how to do it. What do they always say? Measure twice and cut once.”</span></p>

Your experience is different from mine. Have not seen a car parked in it in the last two weeks or so. The occasional pedestrian, yea but less than I would expect. Overall I am impressed by the functioning of it.<br />

<p>I don't expect them to do anything that needs to be dug up, but some white paint in the designated route would have been nice. They striped north of Randolph without finishing that portion of the project, and it doesn't look like it was too expensive.</p>

<p>Second trip today, since it's nice out and I wasn't in a hurry this morning. There were TWO trucks parked blocking the entire lane this time, including the same USPS truck parked in what I guess is her regular space in front of Union Station. At least 6 pedestrians stood in the lane without looking left or right; too busy staring at cellphones and whatnot.</p>
