Protected Bike Lane Extension
Ha. Sorry. Should have noted that my question assumes I'm driving, not pedaling here. Can I sit in a car in the bike lane hear and turn right on red?

I find that stretch of Mineral Point so miserable for bike riding, and the Mineral Point-Midvale intersection so unfriendly (on Mineral Point) that I'd sturn right on Keating and take that eastbound. Even though there's no light at the Keating-Midvale intersection, it feels more bike friendly (to me) than the Mineral Point - Midvale intersection. > (Note: I have not had any problems making right turns from the bike lane on Segoe north of MPRd - presumably the model for the proposed bike lanes south of MPRd) > > On Jul 8, 2011, at 7:25 PM, Eric White wrote: > >> I have a question about this bike lane.
