Description
If Jerome is going to be promoted as the recommended bike route parrallel to Michigan Ave. (which it has been and is by many bicyclists and advocates in the area as it is a nice, quiet route through a lovely neighborhood) then this needs a safer, better engineered solution to allow bicyclists to pass through than the current circus tricks one has to do to travel down Jerome.

The City of Lansing is aware of this issue. It is on the list of needed facility retrofits. Due to current design efforts on other projects, implementation will probably not occur until after 2013.

This is good to hear Andy! I deal with this cut through (and/or the one on Eureka) almost everyday. It's always been a little dicey, but now I'm pulling a trailer it's even more difficult to make the 90 degree turn safely. So glad the City is planning to retrofit this. Can't happen soon enough! I assume you will treat Eureka the same way?
I probably should just open a new issue for code compliance, but the corner house with the huge garden at Eureka where the road curves around, has let the plants get a bit out of hand. It actually is difficult to get down the sidewalk there even as a pedestrian, let alone with a bike and trailer.
