The bike lane on Clayton got wider and I still dont trust it
Rode Clayton Rd through Kirkwood this morning and the city finally added that extra buffer strip after 3 years of parked cars dooring the lane. It's nice but now cars squeeze closer on the left, so I almost got clipped by a mirror at the light. Anyone else find wider lanes just move the danger somewhere else?

Wider lanes are honestly safer overall, you just notice the close calls more now because there's a buffer doing its job. A mirror buzz at a light beats getting doored at 15 mph any day, and studies back that up for real. The city can't fix every jerk driver, but they did make the lane itself less of a death trap.
