I rode through it both ways yesterday, and while it’s largely fine going northbound, southbound is a different story. Going northbound the cycle track connects to the side path, which is fine since that’s the only route you can bike. Going southbound, if you use the road, which I’d guess over 50% of riders do due to the pedestrian volumes on the side path, you’ll probably need to take the regular lanes all the way to the 14st bridge ramps or cut into the cycle track between posts. If you use the cycle track going south and are going to the 14th st bridge, you also have to look back over your should to check for traffic and work out who is yielding to who since a proper connection wasn’t built from the 14th st bridge ramp to the cycle track.
They should have connected the south end of the cycle track to the bridge similarly to what was done near T.R. park on the MVT and made traffic yield to bikes/pedestrians. Instead they built an incongruent design that will probably lead to unnecessary accidents or close calls due to unclear right of way.
