We can’t really control what the city engineers or council do, it’s an advisory commission, and something more robust would well exceed the budget that the city has allocated for the project I’m talking about. We’re trying to get a win where we can right now, but we’ve added an agenda item to recommend a minimum standard for bike lanes so that they’ll all be built with some kind of hardening.
That might actually work in some cases, since a lot of CA cities are criss-crossed with little irrigation canals. Most of what I’m pushing for, though, is putting our streets on a road diet by converting over wide or extra lanes into hardened bike lanes.
why not design it with sturdier posts that withstand cars?

Suggest moats, then. Only requires a backhoe.

Yeah, I bet concrete bollards don’t need frequent replacements
