Cycle lane paused after thousands of locals object

  I know we should all love cycle lanes but the reality for most is they build disconnected stretches at huge expense, that significantly narrow narrow roads, and the you put up with 2 years road disruption and then are inevitably lucky if you see anyone using them. Thats the two big projects round here anyway.

    Ah yes, the ol’ “this project is stupid because it isn’t finished yet” argument. 🙄

    As soon as I got a bike path near my home that led to my grocery store, I stopped driving to the grocery store. This only happened when two bike routes were linked together, since I live off an arterial street. You either have to be willing to put in a huge stretch of bike lanes all over, all at once, or be willing to put up with a few stretches of underutilized bike lane until enough are added that they become usable. With your mindset, you could never go from no bike support to having bike supporting infrastructure.
