[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bike lanes are a total waste of money in a City where the use is almost non existent and there are so many other serious infrastructure improvements and poor schools.

Another mayor and council will not fix the poor decision making because they too will be of the same ilk as the current mayor and council[/quote]

It's odd how few people ride bikes in an environment built to make bicycle travel dangerous and inconvenient. I wonder what the explanation could be for that.[/quote]

The explanation for few bike riders is that the majority of people have a preference for cars or buses for transportation.  Bike riding in this area is predominately a leisure activity and after 10 years in the City I have seen no uptick in regular bike riders at any time on any City streets even those with dedicated bike lanes. Building the most ultra safe bike lanes and building lots of them won't make a difference and won't make a significant increase in bike riders vs. drivers.  The bike lane thing is just dumb and a waste of time, effort and money.[/quote]
