Eastlake Avenue East is a busy route for bicyclists connecting Seattle’s Downtown and Capitol Hill neighborhoods with the University District across the University Bridge.  Several bicycle crashes occurred at this intersection over the course of four years, including one fatality involving a delivery truck making a right turn onto Fuhrman Avenue East.  In order to bring more attention to the bike lane through the intersection, in August 2010, the Seattle Department of Transportation painted an existing bike lane green and added additional bike pavement legends.  Signage was augmented to remind right-turning motorists to yield to bicyclists.
