I agree a separated two way bike lane on only one side of Jefferson would make for greater safety and easier maintenance. I often clock cars on the eastbound commute going 50 mph. Hopefully the current bike lanes were just a temporary way of introducing traffic calming and not the final design.

It's been my experience that cars only slow down PERHAPS when they see a cyclist! Yet they best pump them brakes when they get to Alter, entering the Pointes. Where when their speed signs say 30 they MEAN 29 MPH!
