Here's the page of the 2024 budget that describes the reasoning and plan for the Campbell/12th (and Campbell/Fort) intersections. ~I'm concerned that if we don't get out ahead of this project, they'll produce something high-speed and hostile like the 12th and Kemper intersection.~

Measured this lane and it's about 19 feet wide. That's wide enough for the city standard 5' bike lane, city standard 12' car lane, and a 2' buffer between them. CVPDC Kelly Hitchcock mentioned something about the city having a policy of only installing bike lanes where they can have them on both side, so need to look into this. Other side could not have a bike lane if we're going with lane widths the city typically uses.
