    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.

      Lemme whisper in your ear, “The sidewalks are getting redone with paver stones, the intersections are getting raised to sidewalk level, and the bike lanes will connect directly with a larger protected bike lane network and directly to an in-progress new automated light metro station that will have 2.5-minute headways.”

    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.
