As someone who bikes in the right direction (with traffic) for work on Fish Hatchery and as someone who was very nearly killed by an left-turning city truck at the new intersection with FH by the new UW clinic: yes, please, please get a designated path. A white stripe doesn't protect against the dump trucks, the semis, the busses....all passing barely a foot from my left shoulder. Many thanks, Margie Franzen
