Al, i'm real happy for your criticisms, but i bet that works remarkably well. richard?
Al, just get off your high horse and realize if you rode there, you'd take advantage of any facility you found appropriate, and leave one you didn't. NOT ALL REDESIGNS of public roads are %100 perfect, nor do all attempts at traffic calming advantage all users.
If that intersection becomes a problen, redesign will be implemented. if it works for the populace, it will not.
that street likely works better than your poorly designed road redesigns in AZ, as there is free traffic mixing according to the cyclists' verve. or swerve, depending on how you look at it.
are you just an anti facilities chestbeater, Al? on the auto-centric bandwagon that serves to limit greater cycling in your community? why predicate your demands on what likely encourages even greater bicycle use in Boulder?
