That's good news, Kevin. Are the updated plans posted somewhere? The link I sent is for the plans posted on the city's website: http://www.cityofmadison.com/engineering/ejohnson/
While allowing for through bike traffic to Fordem and to Third Street and beyond is essential from this route, a reasonable connection to Tenney Park would also be very valuable. It'd be great to carry the left side bike lane through the left turn lane at Baldwin and into the left turn lane at Marston. From there you can get into Tenney and connect up with Sherman and the Yahara River path. If the island gets built as drawn, cyclists will have to continue to merge into the left through-lane for the half of block or try and cross at Baldwin and ride the sidewalk. Both of those are pretty tough maneuvers at rush hour. Grant On Feb 16, 2014 7:52 PM, "Kevin Luecke" <[email protected]> wrote: > Grant: those are old plans.
