Thanks Mark - looks very positive from a safety perspective, and I don't see a pattern indicating that motor traffic has been deterred from using North Sherman Avenue.
Any feedback from the Northside Business Association? They opposed <http://host.madison.com/news/local/writers/steven_elbow/bike-lane-proposal-for-north-sherman-avenue-has-businesses-up/article_08bc5530-8056-11e2-afed-001a4bcf887a.html> this redesign over concerns it would negatively impact businesses on North Sherman Avenue and vicinity. Has it? Other research <http://www.citylab.com/cityfixer/2015/03/the-complete-business-case-for-converting-street-parking-into-bike-lanes/387595/> suggests bike lanes are neutral to good for business (even if they replace street parking, which is not the case here), but curious if any business impact has been noted here.
