It being a city road, designs can differ, although King was also very city involved, I'm not sure if it is a city street for that section, but certainly, because of the streetscape, the city was involved.
The intention was (roll curb) protected bike lanes all the way along, with a MUT on one side, for part of the way, but I'm not sure which parts, it seems to cover the majority of the distance now.
I also thought the final design had only 2 lanes for a portion, but that seems to have been wrong as well.
What I am biting my tongue for to see it finished, is how the intersections (Erbsville, Fischer-Hallman, and the roundabout at Benjamin Gate) are designed. Right now, I cannot see how they could possibly work for cyclists, but I'm hoping that it just isn't finished yet. The roundabout especially seems to be finished, and quite awkward to use.
