“Finally by removing the need for westbound travelers to cross midblock at the Obern Trail, yield compliance issues would be mitigated for some users.”
This means that the westbound lane on the north side of Modoc Road would be removed eliminating the need to turn left across eastbound traffic onto the Obern Trail at West Encore Dr.
“The replacement of the westbound bike lane with the path on the same side as the Obern Trail will ameliorate the problem of visibility and poor driver yield compliance.”
This clearly states that the westbound Class II bike lane which is on the north side of Modoc Road, would be replaced as proposed in the ATP grant application.

“For bicyclists significant safety barriers would be removed by upgrading existing shoulders and Class II bike lanes to a Class I pathway with a dedicated right-of-way and physical separation from vehicular traffic.”
