All that money WASTED by screwing up traffic…..and making that stupid zig zag to get on to the local streets all to please bike riders when another walkway overpass would have been all that was needed….

and merging with NO SIGNAGE on the south side….

This is an Embarrassment to the company who designed it……..guess they were those Europeeean trash greenie types who walked or biked everywhere and never driven a car….
