MADISON, Wis. -- A fatal collision involving a bicyclist and a motorist on Friday is now leading to a call for change in a city known to be bike friendly.

Madison police said Monday the driver who struck and killed a 45-year-old bicyclist on Friday night will not be charged. Witnesses said it was cyclist David Nieft who didn't stop at the corner of East Wilson and South Baldwin streets, where the Capital City Bike Trail merges onto residential streets.

Nieft died at University of Wisconsin Hospital from a serious head injury. Police said he wasn't wearing a bike helmet.

Common Council Member Marsha Rummel said she's asking city engineering to review the intersection's crash history and potentially change it from a two-way to a four-way stop.

The overall layout and safety of the intersection will also be looked at, but others say the change needed rests on the shoulders of drivers and bicyclists alike.

"This east corridor is a very busy bike area," said Amanda White, the director of the Madison office of the Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin.

White said she sees how busy the bike corridor is because she bikes the trail everyday, trekking from Madison's East Side to her office downtown.

"I think there can be more things done to accommodate the bikers and make it safer for both motorists and bikers," she said.

White is supporting Rummel's request to have the busy intersection reviewed and possibly changed to a four-way stop.

"I think there are errors on both the bikers and the motorists which just show that more education needs to be done," said White.

Paul Soglin, former Madison mayor and bicyclist, occasionally blogs about the local biking community.

"The standard has to be high for everybody," he said.

Soglin said even a small mistake by bikers and motorists can lead to tragedies.

"On this particular street, in some ways, it's almost more dangerous than a more heavily traffic street like Midvale Boulevard," he said. "This section of Baldwin with the subsequent other streets on that bike path, Livingston Patterson, sometimes is rather tranquil and it can lull us both bicyclists and drivers into a sense of complacency."

Soglin and some residents said that they would like to see more signs alerting drivers of cyclists in the area.

"I think the four-way stop sign would certainly help and I think possibly (including) some signs alerting people to what's happening here with the bike traffic and the car traffic," said motorist Chris Moore.

City engineering officials are now reviewing the area and will make a recommendation in a couple weeks. Engineers will be counting the foot, bike and vehicle traffic, as well as the number of crashes in the intersection.

In 2007 and 2008, there were no crashes in the intersection, according to traffic engineer Mark Winter. Normally, a four-way stop is warranted when there are five or more crashes at an intersection in one year, said Winter.

Friday night's crash is the third crash this year at the intersection, and the first to result in a fatality.

The previous incidents include a pedestrian versus car crash and a car versus car crash, Winter said.
