Another thought - and forgive me if it's already been addressed - but
perhaps the northside alders should be pressed a little as to *WHO *is
so vociferous in their disdain for bike lanes on Sherman. My hunch -
based on 25 years of listening to Norhtside transportation discussion,
is that *MOST *of the noise is likely to be coming from those who live
outside of Madison and use Sherman Ave. as commuter thoroughfare. Food
for thought .....

Here are some interesting counts I did.
Two weekday September bicycle counts:
N. Sherman at Fordem
Afternoon - only 4 hours: 71 bicycles
N. Sherman at Aberg
Morning - only 4 hours: 64 bicycles
So there are already almost 140 bikes in 8 hours on a street corridor
with no bike accommodation. Even WisDOT in their design guidelines
states that if a street or road has or can reasonably expect 25 bikes
per day, bike accommodations should be provided.
This information was provided to the Plan Commission.
