As far as I know Phase II is just adding physical protection and is not extending the 15th st Bikeway further. From what I have heard DPW is content with the Bikeway stopping at Larimer because Larimer also has access to the CC trail right after 14th. Granted you are not on a bike lane for that one block stretch of Larimer, but Larimer square in my experience serves as a traffic calming measure so it's not that bad to bike through. Unfortunately the southbound transition onto the trail from Larimer is awkward, but hopefully the city will improve that if 15th is going to be like that for a while (Small Bike turn lane from trail entrance to where the two way starts?)
Extending that 15th st bikeway further is a logistical nightmare (from Blake to Central). I have a feeling they are going to go after other projects before they try to tackle that.
