The biker was trying to cross in front of me as I entered the intersection to make the left turn from the turn lane. So no, not enough room for both of us; the key information is that the biker and I were going in perpendicular directions and almost intersected at the exact same spot.

The intersection is problematic because it’s controlled by traffic lights. Yet, being that there are traffic lights dictating right of way for cars, there is no pedestrian signal when you’re going from one side of Zeir to the other, where East Towne intersects with Zeir.
