I'm 100% for adding in walking and biking protection, but those planters pictured were asphalt grey. That's just asking for trouble.

No, the high-viz reflectors aren't enough. Those planters should have been red, or yellow, or orange. Anything but asphalt grey!

If they had the time to take this down, they had the time to replace it with their equivalent infrastructure which I believe currently consists of paint and either a post or a curb.

Yep, totally agree. Heck, they should have just showed up with a yellow rattle can.

Easier to tear down than build up
