Sorry to hear, Tony. The bike lanes should be widened. The blacktop curb is being removed and replaced with concrete curb and gutter. Calling it a pavement replacement is a cop-out. 4 plus 1 on this busy street is deficient for biking. Now we'll be stuck with this for anther 20 plus years.

I think this has always been programmed as a pavement replacement, no widening.

It will have all new pavement with marked bike lanes, a definite improvement over the bike lanes today which are almost unusable. There is also an existing asphalt path on the east side of Fish for part of the distance (from south of Carver St to the Creek). it will be replaced by a wide sidewalk, which could be used by those who are not comfortable in the bike lanes. We would like to eventually extend the path itself along the rail corridor up to Wingra Creek as you suggest. This has been in our long-range plan for many years. Currently this is still active rail corridor owned by Union Pacific Railroad, and they have not been willing to work with us on accommodating bike paths in their corridors.
