You know, I like that multi-modal idea of bike boats. Most of the time we're carping about land transportation or misuse of land transportation and I think you hit upon a novel Madisonian idea of bike faerries, er, ferries to transport bikes across our bounteous amount of water. But then, it would take the common council about 30 years to approve of the plan unless negotiations between the mayor and local contractors break down - again.

If people are commuting from the Olin or Lakeside area, and going to much of downtown, going all the way around Monona Bay is a big detour. The drivers on John Nolen are going to be pretty tense with the construction anyway, and they may react poorly to bicyclists. Besides, John Nolen is going to be busy, noisy, and the air quality from all those cars is going to be pretty bad. You can ride on John Nolen, but let's just say that it won't be all that pleasant. For many people, such as me going from the campus area to the Olin Park, it's about even with regard to distance. For others, this will be a "grit my teeth and take John Nolen" or chose the big roundabout (Monona Bay.)
