10 Ave doesn't have a protected (ie: physically separated) bike lane.

This is good for getting around people turning left, but somewhat reduces the effectiveness and the safety afforded to cyclists by having a designated bike lane.

I think with the volume of traffic they routinely handle, 12 Ave and 5 St were both bad ideas. I don't oppose bike lanes, but I am a proponent of trying to keep bikes and cars away from each other as much as possible, including not trying to use a high volume route for cars to accommodate bicycles.

But I'm not a civil engineer; I just play one on Cities: Skylines.
