[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has had bike lanes for more than a decade. It has spent *billions* of dollars building up the infrastructure. The city promotes biking relentlessly. It will even buy people bikes. And yet polls consistently show cycling is the least popular form of transportation in Washington. People just aren’t into biking….[/quote] Where do you get to billions of dollars in bike infrastructure? The current budget proposal calls for $36 million (over six years) to add 10 miles of protected bike lanes: https://www.washingtonpost.com/transportation/2022/04/01/dc-transportation-budget/ So that's $3.6 million per mile. To get to even $1 billion in bike infrastructure, we would theoretically have more than 200 miles of protected bike lanes already in D.C. [/quote] Look at the actual budget. DC routinely spends $100M per year on bike related things. It’s kinda nuts. [/quote]
