It's the Mullen family. Arthur, Matt brings up a good point. The city should contact them about a temporary easement for biking.

Both the Bike Route and the Mifflin Street Bicycle Boulevard connect to/from the Yahara River Path via Dickinson and Dayton Streets. When that property is redeveloped at some point in the future the city will request an easement for ped/bike access to continue the Mifflin Street alignment to the Yahara River Path for pedestrians and bicyclists.
