Any cyclists who don't come through there cautiously are playing with fire. I've staked out the spot the last few mornings, hoping to catch my rear-ender, but haven't seen him yet. Bought a nice secondhand pair of Rolf Vector Comps from a co-worker, though, so at least that's taken care of.

And if you're coming over that little bridge, it's sort of blind and you can't see much either on your right or left. So if you're crossing that bridge facing south and there's a bike coming along (especially on the right) you won't see him until he's pretty close. I hang out by the river during my lunch break sometimes (on foot), and I'm always extra careful at that particular intersection.
Edit: (I was assuming you meant the bridge on the lagoon that would be closest to Dartmouth Ave. Now I'm not sure if you mean a different place.)
