For some reason I thought the redesign was going to include a single bicycle/ped crossing from North Shore/Nolen to Cap City path. This doesn't look to be the case based on the plans here. Anyone know if it's the case or not? My understanding is that all outbound North Shore traffic will be synched after the construction, but are we still going to be expected to pass through the (enlarged) island?
