The really sad part is that double right turn lane EB on Baseline is totally unneeded. I go by there morning and evening (on 185th) and there is never that much traffic trying to go from EB Baseline to NB 185th. This should have been designed with a single right turn only lane, then a through bike lane, then two through car lanes. It would have worked just as well for cars and MUCH better for bikes.
We really need traffic engineers to consider all modes at the beginning of these designs, rather than getting it done then thinking "ah crap, I have to fit bicycles in here somehow".
