From the start, there were problems with the artful blue plastic bollards supposedly protecting riders in the Broadway bikeway.
Tagging was less of an issue than how easily the protective elements were moved despite being filled with hundreds of pounds of sand.
After one of the more concentrated failures of the bollards last week, SDOT is now working on a plan to secure the needle and thread inspired bollards with large metal bracings.
A picture of the new braces was shared on Twitter by city traffic engineer Dongho Chang:
We’ve asked SDOT for information on when the new braces will be installed and what it will cost.
