Yeah, I just saw that. But it's on the inbound side, so wouldn't have
anything to do with the lane closures.
Can't quite figure out where the "500 block of John Nolen" is Google
Maps has it just south of the causeway - before you get to Lakeside.

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?
