The curb eastbound lane of W Dayton Street will be 16 feet between Randall and Bedford, 13 feet between Bedford and Broom Street.
Note that there will also be a detour for bike traffic using the contra-flow lane on University Ave. Since Johnson St will be closed from Bedford to State Streets, a detour will be marked directing eastbound bicyclists to turn left from the Contra-flow lane across University Ave at Gilman St., following Gilman to Carroll and then Carroll back to Johnson. I believe none of this goes into place until the beginning of June. I'm trying to put together a complete picture of conditions and dates for bicyclists between Regent and University from Randall to State Streets. I will post that (or get to Darin for posting on BCP) as soon as it is available. It's better to have it all together than this piecemeal question response we are having right now. Arthur >>> "c t" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03/13/03 05:12PM >>> Below is a response I received form Christy Bachmann in the City's Engineering Division (my original question follows her response): Chris, the following will be provided for bicycle traffic: 1. There will be a marked 13 to 16 foot wide lane on the south side exclusive for eastbound bikes, buses and right turns (for comparison a typical standard vehicle lane is 11'). The lane will be marked and signed as such. This is the case for the complete stretch of the detour being W. Dayton from Randall Avenue to Broom Street. 2. There will be a contra flow westbound bike lane on the north side of W. Dayton from Broom Street to Park Street. The lane will be 5 feet wide, signed and marked with both pavement markings and flexible tubular marker posts(20 foot spacing). 3. Westbound bikes will not be allowed on W. Dayton from Park Street to Randall Ave. The road is narrower in these blocks and without sufficient width. Therefore westbound bikes on W. Dayton will be required to turn onto Park Street (north or south) and will not be able to continue along W. Dayton. Let me know if you have any other questions. Christy M. Bachmann, PE City of Madison Engineering Division Phone: (608)266-4095 Christy: I have a question about the work being done on Johnson Street this spring/summer. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the informational meeting at Union South. The bike lanes (eastbound and westbound) on Dayton St. are used by hundreds of cyclists every day. What are the plans for those bike lanes when Dayton St. is converted to an eastbound one-way street? Thanks for your time, Chris Tiedje Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
