It currently runs from Union Station to the Bishop Arts District, and DART is suggesting a $1 fare starting in September. City council will consider the matter tomorrow. El Paso KVIA April 20, 2018 LINK: https://bit.ly/2Fkxx0y In El Paso the Camino Real Regional Mobility Authority is adding the region’s first two-way bike lane, part of the ongoing El Paso streetcar project. As the project is closer to becoming finalized, drivers are learning to adjust to the change in traffic, and so are bicyclists. ABC7’s Josie Ortegon has more. We’re having to come back at this point and look at the infrastructure on our roads and say how can we make them safer? Scott White has been keeping a close eye on the El Paso streetcar project. As part of the addition of streetcars, the Camino Real Regional Mobility Authority is adding new two-way bike lanes, a designated green crossing lane for bicyclists, bicycle signals and four-foot-high delineators. It looks like protection, but if a car goes out of control, if you fall and hit this thing. Martin Bartlett with the El Paso streetcar project says engineers chose the delineators specifically because the height allows for maximum reflectivity from a vehicle’s headlights. White is also worried about the amount of space within the bike lanes.
