[quote=Anonymous]NP, just jumping in to add that a major benefit of bike infrastructure isn't just that it provides space for cyclists. It's that it slows drivers down to a speed that is appropriate for environments with pedestrians and others. Drivers on overbuilt roads kill far too many people, and reckless driving is a serious problem in this town that also causes injuries and property damage and just makes places unpleasant. Maybe when self-driving cars finally pry the steering wheels from our hands that will change, and we can talk. In the meantime, I think bike lanes just make city neighborhoods a lot more pleasant to spend time in. - person who uses all the modes including driving and who had a bike lane built in front of their house[/quote]
