Definitely a horrible bike crossing now.
I think that by eliminating the lane between broom and north
shore (but leaving it in for the stretch south of north shore) they
can switch the signals on the right turn from north shore onto
southbound nolen. Since there won't be any through-traffic southbound
in that lane, right turning from north shore could happen while nolen
through traffic is green. Then they could get a red when northshore
left-turning (northbound) traffic gets a green and bike ped traffic
would end up with a green for all three segments.
That's a tough one to explain without a picture, but I think it could
work.

For those that have suggested that there should be some
improvements in the crossing of John Nolen Dr at North Shore,
here's a little news tidbit:
City to test lane reduction plan on John Nolen Drive
http://madisonsouth.channel3000.com/news/transportation/69036-city-test-lane-reduction-plan-john-nolen-drive
However, I don't see how this will help the principal problem
there: The need to wait for two lights to cross from the path
along North Shore Dr to the John Nolen Path - one to cross the
right turn lane, and another to cross John Nolen itself. Of
course, many people don't wait anyway, because that is a really
annoying way to navigate an intersection. Besides, there isn't
nearly enough space to wait on the little island there.
Maybe the article misrepresented what is going to happen. From a
satellite view, that third lane extends quite a way onto the
causeway. Maybe eliminating the third lane onto the causeway would
also allow the total elimination of the flying right-turn from
North Shore Dr to John Nolen?
