lane barriers just months after their installation.
Initially, the city completed a bike lane improvement
project, adding berms and bollards to enhance
cyclist safety. However, following a city council
vote, Mayor John Franklin stated that these features
have made cyclists feel less safe. Drivers reported
visibility issues and difficulties for emergency
vehicles, leading to safety concerns. While some
residents argue the barriers protect cyclists,
the city plans to remove them later this summer,
with estimated removal costs around $500 ,000.

Mariners fell to the New York Yankees with a

home runs before the All -Star break in 1998.
Rayleigh is now closing in on Barry Bond's record

not officially confirmed this change. Since August
2006, shoes have been removed to enhance security
