Mike Boos and I were talking about the changes to Northfield on the LRT Facebook group yesterday. This morning I biked both directions across, and here's a little video showing the final configuration, now that everything is complete.
I guess I proved to myself it's just a case of getting more confident, but it still makes me shudder a bit going Westbound, being sandwiched between the merge lane and the two lanes on my left there. Certainly not the most comfortable area ever.
...and I guess I have to ask: Why isn't there the super-bright green treatment to the entire Westbound crossover area? Seems like this would be the prime area of conflict to highlight.
