You may be right about drivers' actual behavior, but it would be more logical for them to detour at Olin Ave., or, better yet, to get off the Beltline at Park Street. The routes they choose will probably depend pretty heavily on where DOT puts the detour signs.
Does anybody know what routes are being recommended? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Reed D" <[email protected]> To: "Bikies" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 11:12:39 AM Subject: Re: [Bikies] FYI - John Nolen Path closed March 29-May 15 I'm certain the path will be improved with better bridge approaches and pavement. However, my concern with the detour plan is turning left off of Gilson Street onto Lakeside Street. With automobile traffic also diverted and ostensibly seeking alternate routes, the likelihood that Lakeside will be selected is high which, in turn, makes the probability of Lakeside being a comfortable environment for bikes low. I foresee a lot of challenges between Gilson and John Nolen for southbound cyclists. ...at least the return trip promises to be made easier by the elimination of left-turning (northbound) autos from Lakeside onto John Nolen Drive at the signal.

Only later in the article does it mention road work on John Nolen itself. It's sort of nice that the path is considered the more important aspect of the project. Official City of Madison press release, including contact names, numbers, etc if you have questions - below. Again, disruption of the trail is the focus. http://www.cityofmadison.com/news/view.cfm?news_id=1952 Robbie Webber Bike Walk Madison Steering Committee www.bikewalkmadison.org Join our group on Facebook! _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
