John -
We know about that legislation, and we care. (At least I know and care
about it and most of my friends know and care.) But the opposition to
legislation by a bunch of Dane County constituents doesn't seem to make
much difference to the folks that can actually approve or reject
legislation.
The city and Bike Fed literally didn't know that the SCERB was taking this
up until the day before. And they had no idea that Fred (and Dianne
Hesselbein, who should also be very bike-friendly) would vote against the
proposal. Several people called Fred's office before the meeting and were

I was caught off-guard by this as well. I'm gathering more info and will
see what the options are.

Speaking of worse proposals. How about this one that just got passed. Now
drivers of large vehicles can deviate from their lane before and at
roundabouts, and the little people have to yield the right of way.
An Act to create 346.13 (5) and 346.18 (8) of the statutes; relating to:
If the planners and advocates could not convince Fred Risser to vote of
this proposal (an avid cyclist, daily bicycle commuter, oldest and most
experienced and bicycle friendly member of the legislator) it likely
wasn't a well thought out or presented proposal.

Hey Brian,
I think there's some validity to your point, but also think there's a lot
to unpack there.
I don't know the senator and I don't know how often or in what ways he

I agree with Brian. I like contra flow lanes as much as the next person but
there are much worse proposals moving through the Legislature. For instance,

One option that comes to mind is putting it on the right side of the
street. That would also alleviate some of the concerns about dooring,
especially if it were a separated lane.
