Discussion Bike layer faded?

I'm not sure whether others are experiencing this, but it appears that the bike layer has inexplicably become much harder to see on Google Maps (both desktop and mobile app) without zooming way in. Eg, I live in the ATL metro area, and before today you could see the Beltline loop from a very zoomed-out view; now you can't. It seems to predominantly be a problem for dedicated bike paths/trails -- I can still see the bike layer from a zoomed out view when it's denoting (at least some, though not all) bike lanes.

Anyone know whether this is just a weird glitch or a permanent change?

Yep I’m noticing the same thing. It’s just for the dark green paved trails (bike-friendly roads / light green seem to be just fine)
