failed new road design in roseville, ramsey county

Victoria street (Ramsey County road 52), between County road B and Larpenteur Avenue was repaved and reconfigured this summer. It went from a stretch of road that was awesome to cycle on northbound and southbound, to... safe nothbound 

and a RIDICULOUSLY UNSAFE southbound lane:

Why? Are there no cyclists working in the traffic engineering groups in Roseville or Ramsey County?

This design was utter crap for safe, bikeable, pragmatic streets. Why? Let's not build new surface streets that are cycling hostile.
