Bicycle Roundabout 2

Progress on the new Bicycle Roundabout in New Orleans: it is paved with cement a little more than three-quarters of the way around.

Looking at it from the "LAKE" side at an angle from "UPRIVER."

(In Mid-City New Orleans, "LAKE" is roughly northwest, "UPRIVER" is roughly southwest, "DOWNRIVER" is roughly northeast.)

Here's something interesting! The City is building a new bikepath along the right-of-way of the old railroad tracks which used to be the Carondelet Canal here in New Orleans. In the block bounded by Conti St, Jeff Davis Pkwy (Northbound), Lafitte St and Jeff Davis Pkwy (Southbound) is a junction of three bikeways: the Jeff Davis Bikeway, the Bayou St John Bikeway and the Lafitte Greenway. At the very junction itself they are building a miniature roundabout!
