For the westbound detour, at least, I think bike traffic should be routed up
(or at least given the option) Williamson, rather than forcing bikes to
cross Wmson three times. Also, is the bike path really being closed? If
you were going down the bike path to Dickinson, won't you be able to get
through (riding the Dick sidewalk for a partial block)? Also, the BIKE PATH
CLOSED signs are a real obstacle on the bike path, especially at night when
they're barely visible.

Subject: [Bikies] E Wilson Closed Baldwin to Dickinson
The 1300 block of E Wilson Street is out of commission for sewer
replacement. A bicycle detour is being signed that will get people
around this construction. Heading inbound the detour will bring
bicyclists along the following route
At the traffic signal at the bike path/Riverside/Winnebago/Williamson
turn left onto Riverside
turn right onto the Jenifer St ped/bike bridge over the Yahara River
continue towards downtown on Jenifer St
turn right onto Baldwin St
cross Williamson St and continue on Baldwin
turn left onto Wilson St and you are back on the regular route
The detour works the same in reverse, heading outbound - - take Baldwin
across Williamson to Jenifer, over the ped/bike bridge and up Riverside
back to the path.
This might not be completely signed until Monday, but construction
staging started yesterday and they might be working on Saturday.
Please help spread the word and reduce the conflicts and ill will with
people who live on the 1300 block of Wilson Street (who are unhappy with
bicyclists on the sidewalks conflicting with their kids playing on the
sidewalks) and with construction workers.
Thanks,
Arthur
