> This is the worst possible time to start an infrastructure project. The intermediate states matter, and construction sites are evil. The ideal time to do construction is when you have the least traffic and right now cities are seeing less traffic than they have had in decades. > San Fransisco's Vision Zero is why I haven't been able to cycle to work in two years. In the name of bicycle safety, the city tore out my bike lane and replaced it with a ditch. This has less to do with general principals and a lot to do with piss poor planning in SF. Here in Eugene, when they do construction, cycling safety is (mostly) taken into account. > All of these things will be great to have, when they are completed in 2030. Construction sites are a PITA for everyone and are definitely more dangerous for cyclists, but getting the construction over quickly is safer than dragging it out. Considering how bad bike commuting is in many places, dealing with a few years of marginally worse conditions to get much better infrastructure is worthwhile.
