Drivers! If you’re traveling down Eureka’s Seventh Street — or its 14th, or Buhne, or Harris — and you pull up to C Street, thinking you’re going to turn on to it… 

You should double-check to make sure that you can still turn the way you’d like to turn! Probably you cannot!

There’s lots of signage up now, and most of the roads have been re-painted and re-striped, but we know old habits die hard. The fact is, that the C Street Bicycle Boulevard is in full effect these days, meaning that there are stretches of C that are one-way only. You don’t want to drive them the wrong way!

While most of the work on the project is done, there’s one key aspect of the bike boulevard that is still missing. Eventually — probably within a month, according to project manager Jay Wortelboer — large planter boxes will be placed in the intersections that are no longer open to vehicular traffic. The boxes are “en route,” Wortelboer told the Outpost today.

Until then, drivers are going to have to do without those sorts of large, physically impenetrable clues and instead use the more subtle signs and lane stripes that now adorn those intersections. 

How to get on to C? Go around the block via B Street or D Street, or head up to Wabash. But probably only do that if you’re going to a location on C itself! Remember — you can’t drive it all the way through anymore!
