Crossing Fish Hatchery Road from Cannonball to get on the northbound bike lane is risky and time consuming, especially in rush hour traffic. The simplest, safest, and most cost-effective solution is to have a path that parallels Fish Hatchery Road adjacent to the Arboretum property and connecting to the Wingra path. I don't know the Fish Hatchery Road easement width, who owns what, what the cost of a bike bridge over Wingra Creek would be, but this would certainly be less expensive than building a new bridge over Fish Hatchery Road and constructing the tail on the other side.

Yes, this is along the Arboretum.

    It could also be that one or more people need to travel a short
    distance to a destination on Fish Hatch on the same side of the
    road, and they don't want to try to try to cross peak hour traffic
    twice to reach their destination. Is it the area next to the
    Arboretum where there is no sidewalk?

        I've seen this three days in a row now, during my morning
        (car) commute: Darwin award candidate bikers biking North on
        Fish Hatchery facing MV traffic going Southbound. I think this
        is because of the gap between the Cannonball Trail and
        destinations to the North. I expect this will go on until this
        gap is filled.
