Thanks Robbie, Yes, this is well used by bikers. It is on the major route between the Atwood and East Emerson neighborhoods to and from the north side of Madison. First Street bike traffic (complete with a left turning lane bike box) passes over these tracks when going to Fordem, which is our major artery to the north side of Madison.
All green paint has been worn off the bike box for a couple years now, but most cars fortunately seem to still honor and stop behind the bike box.
