Yikes, that could have ended so badly. Glad to hear that the cyclist and the driver were transported to hospital with less than severe injuries.

"Two to hospital w non-life-threatening injuries. The cyclist in this case will be recovering for sometime."Maybe not AIS Severe, but obviously not just scrapes and bruises. How can you really address this risk without physical barriers though?
Dallas road will have an off-street bike path as part of the sewage project, so theoretically that could prevent this but depending on the speed/angle a vehicle could still jump the curb and take out some bi-wheeled people.

Are there any design drawings of the path? I haven't been able to find anything with any detail or resolution...

Check a couple weeks back, a special 530 or 630pm CotW meeting.
Found it just by looking at CoV -> Transportation -> Cycling. The proposed design puts parked cars and apparently metal bollards between the travel lanes and the cycle path and sidewalk, so the incident that happened here should be unlikely to reoccur under that arrangement.

Nah, you know all the cyclists think drivers want their cars bashed up from hitting them. Sort of a tally sheet. Drivers are obviously nasty, horrible people that obviously don't care about paint blemishes.

This one could have been bad.
SUV ahead of me enters on a green light, car runs the red from the right. They miss, but there appeared to be a family in that SUV.

Yes, the van driver faked a medical emergency and sacrificed five other motor vehicles (for the Greater Good) just to score another point on the Cyclist Scourge.
I do not doubt his commitment to Sparkle Motion.
But seriously, it's just Hanlon's Razor (again, because it applies to everything ever). Except replace "incompetence" with "inattention or medical emergency".

'twas another IRSU dragnet. I'm not terribly opposed to roadblocks, but when you turn the highway into a parking lot...

Police have just closed Hwy 1 both directions near McKenzie. Car rollover. Just got off the phone with my partner who is driving home from the West Shore. Does not sound good.

Check out the Hwy Cams for No.1 at Helmcken. No visible traffic in either direction. Eerie looking.
