I think I heard during a presentation at a campus meeting that there will be a traffic light at the SW Path/Spring/Charter intersection. The light will default to green for the path, so any traffic on Charter or Spring will have to wait to get a green. Charter is one-way northbound there, and there really isn't much (motor vehicle) traffic until you get to the 2-way part at Johnson St. Spring is similarly pretty quiet unless there is a football game or other Camp Randall event, so the path carries more traffic then either cross street.
I'm pretty sure that's what I heard, but I'm sure Chuck or someone else will let me know if I got it mixed up. Should be interesting when it's done.
