So those induction sensors in the pavement aren't connected to anything?

The sensors that are placed in ground are not designed to detect cyclists--the simply don't weigh enough. Midtown Alliance is in the planning stages of a major streetscape project on Juniper Street which will include a buffered bicycle lane heading southbound. Construction is set for 2014. Also, we have partnered with the City of Atlanta and the PATH Foundation to construct a two-way cycle track along 10th Street from the eastside beltline trail to Charles Allen. A second phase is being planned as we speak--if funded/approved it will bring the cycle-track up to Myrtle. At that point there are a number of options being studied--one of which is directing cycle traffic down 8th Street. Your comment is a valid one and I will forward it along to our designers. I am closing this issue with the understanding that your comment will be considered along with the design of both the Juniper Streetscape and the future cycle network.
