We were all amazed at the erection of the Cannonball Bike Path bridge over the South Beltline. Incredible coordination between the operators of two huge cranes, with super-high voltage power lines a consideration on the south end. There is a lesson here. Notably, the work was done by the Kraemer company out of Plain, WI, one of the state's largest road builders. Member of the Wisconsin Transportation Builders Association, formerly the Wisconsin Road Builders Association, which recognized they can make money building bike facilities, too, and changed its name and focus to reflect that fact. It's a slow process, but things are evolving to a time in which we will have "complete streets" and roads will be designed and built by "road builders" to be multi-model and to accommodate bikes and peds.
