I just learned today of two things of note to bicyclists on/near campus: The "offramp" of the Campus Dr Path at Walnut St is closed for the demolition of a building that used to belong to the state or feds (and is being demolished by them rather than UW, I think). There is a detour sign on Walnut St pointed north towards old University Ave, but I did not see any other detour signs between the Path and Old Univ Ave (though I was in an MV, so might have missed them). I doubt there is a signed detour that's any better than anyone on this list can figure out anyway. I suspect that your options to are to take the stairs down to the west side of Walnut, or exit the path at the next opportunity to the east (spur behind Vet Med and Wisconsin Vet Diagnostic Lab to Easterday Lane along Willow Creek) or the west (Highland Ave).
>From the Village of Shorewood Hills Administrator regarding Blackhawk >Path/Locust/Burbank: "The Village of Shorewood Hills will be commencing a project to construct sidewalk , reconstruct and realign Locust Drive and sections of the bike path from Rose Place on the east to its terminus at the Lodge Apartments property on the west. The project will begin near the end of August 2017 with completion expected in early October 2017. A four-way stop will be installed at the Blackhawk Path / Locust / Burbank intersection. Bike, pedestrian and vehicular traffic will be maintained throughout construction, but delays will occur. Bikers and pedestrians may have localized and changing detours off of the current path on Locust. Patience , caution and an awareness for changing conditions will be needed through this time period." That's all I know, folks. Be careful out there.
