Until it’s actually built, don’t count on it. NIMBYs will fight tooth and nail every chance they get. Even after it’s built there will be a constant barrage of unfounded complaints about how it hurts traffic flow and makes it more dangerous for drivers. Show up to your city council meetings and make sure to hold them accountable for their promises.

My city promised similar for several roads, then the mayor hired a construction company he has stake in to build it, then he didn’t do any construction and pocketed the money. He’s currently under investigation by at least 3 different bodies and at least 50% of town still supports his re-election

Hope more cities do this. Separating bike lanes makes a ton of sense. Bike commuting was stressful sometimes knowing the only thing between me and 4,000lbs of metal was a painted line.

Also would notice a good number of tailpipes faced towards the bike lane, which sort of negates the health benefit of biking to work.

Please, I can only become so erect

oh my god i fuckin wish. half of my city is straight up inaccessible on bike unless you want to drive on the roads and get killed by distracted motorists.

If you can’t impeach whoever was responsible for this barbaric decision, democracy will have failed.

In this case, civil war will be the only solution.
