This would make no difference, cyclists head up there all the time, doesn't matter if there is a green trail or an ASL to get to. Its worse when people don't even use the ASL, there is one I use every day on the way to work, where all these cyclists are piled up along the left with a fence on one side and cars indicating to make left turns on their right while there is an empty ASL in fornt of them. Its so frustrating that people don't understand how these systems should work, and I've been impressed by the awareness and patience of the motorists at this intersection. I have not seen or heard of any accidents at this intersection despite so many muppet riders lining up to be squashed every morning.
Best way to make the roads safer for cyclists is for this lovely waether to fuck right off and it to go back to good old freezing cold snowy weather. I feel a lot safer riding to work when its freezing cold and only experienced committed cyclists are on the roads. People are concentrating on getting to work alive, not racing each other, being dickheads and trying to prove that they have bigger balls than some stranger who tried to overtake them at the last set of lights.
