SDOT is in the process of installing new “bike boxes” at 12th & Pine, with a second coming to 12th & Madison. Bike boxes are designed to make it easier for bikes to ride with traffic, allowing them to get ahead of cars at an intersection when the light is red and then get out first when the light turns green. This helps everyone move along more safely and efficiently, and is a technique already used in various European countries, NYC, and our neighbors to the south in Portland, among others.
