It was hard to get a shot of them but these concrete structures act as a barrier between the car traffic and bicycle traffic in many locations around the city. These ones along Avenue Rd have all been painted by different artists. It makes for a great effect.

Good that local muralists have a place to show their work, and also fun to see all the murals.
ReplyDeleteThe murals are pretty! Take care, have a great day and happy week ahead.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I love when art enhances the ordinary infrastructure.
ReplyDeleteQuite colourful.
ReplyDelete...for some pictures, you have to risk your life! It's good to see that they are creating bike lanes!
ReplyDeleteNice to have so many bike lanes so well screened from other traffic and immediately make a virtue of necessity by painting fun murals on them. Good idea.
ReplyDeleteNow if we can just protect pedestrians from the bicycles!
ReplyDeleteYour city seems to paint everything! We have similar barriers but mostly just left as grey concrete.
ReplyDeleteBarricade against the civil unrest
ReplyDeleteIt is an attempt to make the barriers look ok, but they don't. A more aesthetic separation to make cycling safe I would hope is in the planning.
ReplyDeleteLOVE!!!
ReplyDeleteA good safety measure. A young woman was killed while riding her bike in Stockholm yesterday morning. Run over by a truck. A ride there all the time.
ReplyDeleteThe barriers look much better with some art and colour. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Pat.
