Insanity prevails.
I drove the bridge last night.
I ask why demark the bicycle/trash lane at all?
I witnessed it promote poor behaviour from both a bike rider and a car:

The problem is historical - before renovations were complete
Hi All,
It's not the road engineer that needs to ride the bike lane, it's the
(non-engineer) planner who thinks that the bike lane is a good
thing(tm), and _requires_ that any design has a bike lane in it. The
same thing happened at with the City when the centre town traffic
calming measures
Instead of sighing out loud on this forum, why not try calling or
e-mailing someone at the NCC? The bridge is new, the three lane idea is
new problems will be worked out I'm sure but unless they are made
aware of the problems they can't be worked out.
I doubt anybody from the NCC
