If the planners and advocates could not convince Fred Risser to vote of this proposal (an avid cyclist, daily bicycle commuter, oldest and most experienced and bicycle friendly member of the legislator) it likely wasn't a well thought out or presented proposal.

FYI:
State committee nixes plans for contra-flow bike lane on Capitol Square
http://isthmus.com/news/news/Contra-Flow-Bike-Lane-nixed/

I was at a meeting with City staff this afternoon, and they broke the news to us that i in the story above. So when Mifflin is reconstructed this year, we aren't getting a west-to-east bike lane.

However, the reconstruction will bee done in such a way that if the state ever changes its mind -- maybe some more bike-friendly and more livable-cities-oriented members of the State Capitol and Executive Residence Board (who, strangely also control the Capitol grounds and the one lane on the inner loop that is state property) -- a counterflow lane could be added at a later time.
