bicycle behavior, i have heard that come up a lot in the past year, you know trying to encourage or entice or someway to softly handle that situation of bicyclist driving down fast lanes, what on your options, what is in place to slowdown, i know there is some things about bumps to slow them down, what is in place that they will slowdown for people getting off these islands and trying to walk the cross ways. some can't move as fast whether through mobility impairment or you are elderly too. what can pe done to ensure besides just betting on the bicyclist improving. what can be in place to ensure that these pedestrians can be safe? >> that's a design detail that we are working through now. along the corridor we are generally recommending the cycle track to be about seven 7 feet wide and we are suggesting that perhaps the islands to be narrowing to be about 5 feet wide which is single file so we only obvious -- have to worry about one cyclist at that time. and a raised crosswalk. so it starts as a speed hump for a cyclist and insures the island is the same length height and makes it a
