It's really more like 2 feet if you don't count the trash filled gutter. Probably the worst bike lane in town. My commute is from the Eastside to Todd Dr and I've boycotted that stretch completely. I take the Wingra path to Beld and cut through by Lincoln school instead. Adds a little distance, but saves on tires and sanity.
They are planning on bringing the cannonball path all the way down to fish at the tracks, but thats still a while away.
