It’s horrible. I often cut across Franklin to get on the sidewalk on the south side of the street and cross Belvidere on that side. I know that’s not ideal for several reasons but the alternative sucks too.

That’s the safest maneuver when Belvidere has greens in both directions. When Franklin has a green and the crosswalk is counting down, the logical and legal westbound bike move is to go straight through the intersection. But you 100% have to bike defensively and assume the cars don’t see you because turning cars rarely yield there.

Yup, that’s exactly when I do it.
