City Cyclists Warned about Third Ave.

Seattle DOT, PD and Metro are worried about collisions between bikers and buses on Third Ave (whether that's out of safety concerns or litigation avoidance is anyone's guess) and has ordered bicyclists to obey the laws and bike carefully OR ELSE. The "else" being banishing all bikes from Third Ave. during rush hour. It isn't clear how moving bikers to already crowded 2nd and 4th would improve the situation. Besides, it seems kind of fitting for the aggressive bike riders to battle for control of the street with the aggressive bus drivers.
