I live off of Messer and I find the the planters on the side of the road to be more enjoyable, as a driver, although sometimes irritating, as people think the road is too narrow when indeed, they have enough room.

Edit: The planters do make me scared to bike down Messer, although there are side streets that don't get as much traffic that I take instead.

The inordinate fear that those planters put in Rhode Island drivers is one of the most hilarious things about the west side. There’s always enough room and everyone panics when they pass one.

God forbid somebody be holding up their phone to text at the same time. Normally, I'm game to play chicken but those people? shivers

Couldn't agree more. There soooo much room even for two SUVs. Also, when those went in the city promised to grind the corners down a little bit (so at least folks wouldn't pop theirs tires). Never happened.
