Awesome infrastructure, too bad it's two blocks from where is should be at 16th and FL. The real missing piece is a crossing provision like this there and a counterflow on 15th north of U to hook up with Florida/W eastbound and V westbound. If that existed no cyclist would ever have to make a turn at 16th and U and few would pass through it at all. We'd all be in the nice quiet bike lanes on every other street in a 2 block radius (except for FL west of 16th which is plenty wide, and 17th which is so wide and quiet it doesn't need them).

If DDOT wants to put some paint down in this intersection they should do dotted lane guides on the south half of U, the greatest danger to cyclists here is cars headed east on U who don't go into the correct lane on the other side of the intersection because of the misalignment between the curbs east and west of 16th on the south side.
