Kristin Culpepper 4/09/2021 8:44 AMGetting back to bike commuting has been nice. Noticed heavier traffic patterns on the bridges during typical rush-hour periods. Still way less than pre-COVID, but certainly increasing. Car Traffic is still very low downtown -- and by proxy -- bike safety is way up compared to pre-COVID. -
