<p>It's worth considering that certain advocates and the "experts" in bicycle infrastructure design may not actually be expert at it, and that the training or education they may have may be based on fundamentals that are deeply flawed. In part the design hopes to head off the right hook at the intersection, however, like on Randolph, the mixing zone moves the problem upstream to where the speeds are higher, and the blind spot encounter opportunities are made all the more probable. </p> I ran across this again.

<p>I ran across this again. It is possible that with all the cross-over happening and the bumping we're aware of, that someone will take a more aggressive approach with the city about it. My point isn't to agree or disagree with the merits of the Portland lawsuit, but rather observe that others may take this approach.…</p>

<p>Wasn't the original plan for more green paint and bollards in the area? Not that these will help if people aren't abiding by the rules of the road, and the design is inherently flawed, but does anybody know if the designers are calling the job complete? </p>

<p>Too late to edit, but forgot to add that Sub-lower Wacker will dead end, so one has to make a left on either lower Stetson or Beaubien Cts to make a right on lower sub-lower Water, THEN that leads to the Garland Ct. ramp across Michigan ave. I know it sounds confusing as hell as first, but it's a much calmer alternative.</p>

<p>Go from the southern part of the LSD bridge to the riverfront trail for a short stretch, to the first sub-lower Wacker entrance around the towing lot (to avoid tourists) all the way to the exit on Garland Ct ramp slightly west of lower Michigan (wrong way for a short stretch). That leads to Lake St east of Wabash. Not much traffic on sub lower Wacker.</p>
