ugh. This is sad. The creator of the sharrow, James Mackay, essentially said that it was a bare-minimum way to do something for cycling in a city that didn’t want to do anything: "Part of it was the city of Denver’s reluctance to do much of anything for bicycles. So I figured, this would be a less expensive approach versus the conventional bike lane markings. A lot of the agencies don’t want to do anything involving change or spending money for bicycles. I was always under pressure to do less as the Denver bicycle planner."
