Do you have an "overall" view from a bit farther South? I'd like to see how they were terminating that "Orange Cone" path... Thanks, Scott

As this was just a test, the orange cones simply terminated at the end of the orange lines at the end of the block, which is just to the left of the picture.

So does that mean as you were approaching from the Esplanade, you waited to make your turn until after the yellow line and then had two way bike traffic in the area that would normally be used by southbound bus traffic? If they end up putting a green bike lane through here, I REALLY hope they do the same thing further up the line at the on ramp to I-5 coming off of Greeley heading toward Interstate. That place is way scarier than the transit center has ever been!

I'm pretty sure that there would be both north- and southbound bike lanes to the left of the yellow lines/orange cones. Note that there normally is no southbound bus traffic through here so the lane is otherwise unused (all the buses turn towards the Steel Bridge) And for a view of this area facing south, see this photo

ah... there we go. Thanks for the link to that photo. you're right. there aren't usually any buses going south. --all the more reason to hand it back to bikes. My remaining concern is that they don't put a stop sign in for bikes as we are heading south. When I am on the cargo bike, one of the main advantages of taking this route is that I keep my momentum on that little downslope so I don't have to pedal so hard up the other side to get to the intersection with the scramble stoplight.
