nothing but a long turn lane, I prefer that there be an earlier bike <BR>
lane closed sign and perhaps even restripe to have the bike lane <BR>
between number 2 and 3 lanes. This puts bicyclists in a better <BR>

Hi:<BR>
<BR>
Trevor:<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for going out of your way to make a closer inspection.<BR>
<BR>
This morning I took a closer look... The first sign says road construction ahead but does also say BIKE LANE CLOSED AHEAD.<BR>
<BR>
I did see the SHARE THE ROAD sign once past Campus Point Drive. It is likely it was there and I just missed seeing as I normally turn left from NB Genesee. On the other hand, the signs, particularly the ALTERNATE ROUTE signs around the camplus seem more appropriately placed so there is a chance I guess that someone is listening.<BR>
