Margate painting bike lanes green to prevent drivers from using them – Press of Atlantic City

MARGATE The city is getting in on the Philadelphia Eagles'kelly green craze.

The city is in the process of painting all of its bike lanes a similar color to the Eagles' throwback jerseys, to distinguish the difference between lanes.

City engineer Ed Dennis gave a status report at the Nov. 16 City Commission meeting, where he said the bike lane painting would be completed in the next couple of weeks.

The striping started at Fredericksburg and Atlantic avenues and will continue to Huntington Avenue.

"It's ready to go, so shouldn't take too long to complete," Dennis said.

The city is paying Farmingdale, Monmouth County-based Traffic Lines Inc. $266,652 for work on the project.

City officials said they were happy with the traffic improvements the road diet had brought over the past few years. The project turned Atlantic Avenue into a one-lane road in each direction, lowered the speed limit to 25 and widened the bike lane path from five feet to 10.

The city decided to paint the entire bike lane green because that is the designated legal color that goes with the state Department of Transportation's standards. Painting the entire lane green,instead of just parts of it, would cause less confusion for motorists, officials said, and keep them from using it as a driving lane or for turns.
