I would hope that with the redesign of Atwood that this intersection would be made more user friendly for everyone. Originally work was planned for 3-5 years from now but has been pushed back 5 years or so. What I would like to see now that you can not turn right on red from Division to Atwood is Division repainted with a special bike turn lane from Division to the path. You can see from streeview enough room to add a bike lane there. https://www.google.com/maps?ll=43.092212,-89.350916&spn=0.001246,0.005118&cbp=11,344.23,,0,6.04&layer=c&panoid=PtA8v8C3COyAP1YIoZYDKA&cbll=43.092212,-89.350917&t=m&z=18
In addition to this problem is people turning in front of you from Eastwood onto Division. I believe there is a sign there that says yield to path but it is ineffective.
