If Rainier Avenue’s bike lanes were realigned, how would they be kept clean and how would the changes affect garbage pick-up and mail delivery?

The protected bike lane would be designed to allow streetsweepers to safely clean the bikeway and street. There would also be ample space to place garbage bins, recycling, and yard debris in the buffer zones before and after each driveway.

The gaps before, at, and after driveways would allow mail vehicles to pull over without holding up traffic in the vehicle lanes.
