If ODOT and the railroads ever carry out their plans for the Queen Avenue crossing in Albany, I’ll quit writing about it. But the improvement project at the crossing keeps slipping further back in time.
When Queen Avenue east of Pacific Boulevard in Albany was repaved and reopened to traffic last week, a new wrinkle appeared in the markings the contractor laid down: a series of green stripes in the bike lane.

It’s still there: Bike trap at Queen crossing
If you approach the rail crossing on Queen Avenue from the east, beware of the trap they’ve left for people on bikes.
