Bikes will run in between the yellow strips where the LRVs operate, not in the pedestrian paths. They aren't intended to be full-speed bikeways, in fact speeds will be limited to 10 mph as Cynikal mentioned. Not sure how bikes are supposed to react when light rail vehicles approach them--do they hustle to the next block, or do they pull over into the pedestrian walkways?

Still, it worked just fine during the I-5 resurfacing, which provided some of the push to make the change permanent. It's not really a big deal.

I saw the PG&E #35 streetcar running down O Street today--they normally operate it on Black Friday. A nice bit of direct evidence that streetcars would run just fine on the Light Rail line, no modifications needed whatsoever.
