While I understand the militant anti-bike lane fever, I don't entirely agree with it. I don't have a problem with the concept. The problem is that most bike lanes simply stink.
The layout of University Avenue in Madison looks nuts to me. Was there even a problem in the first place? Wouldn't a wide right lane serve the same purpose as a bike lane without giving the impression that bicycles should be confined to the bike lane?
Evidently this street is WAY too wide for the traffic it carries. That seems to be the major problem. My suggestion would be to put grass on both sides and definately eliminate the wrong-way bike lane. Sheesh! That is a stupid idea, and seemingly an endorsment of cyclists riding the wrong way - a leading cause of cycling accidents.
Having the bus lane to the right of the bike lane makes some sense because busses pull over to the curb and stop a lot. I kind of like that idea, as well as the fact that there's no parking, so no dooring problem.
