What's up with the 3-foot passing law? Aren't cars bound by this, even when the
lane lines are closer together, i.e., don't they have to swing around to keep
the 3-foot margin? Dave

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

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.
