I am already ponying up the cash. Do you, for some reason, think that car centric cities come for free and putting in a bike lane costs more that a highway doe

  >putting in a bike lane costs more that a highway does? Yes. A proper bike lane requires: * Expanding the road, which might involve demolishing some/many town blocks. * Adding proper separators and dividers between car and bike. * Changing the layout of the town so biking to destinations is actually practical. * Slowly changing the minds of the residents. This isn't as simple as painting some white lines and calling it a day.

    This is a complete fabrication, nobody demolishes building to create bikelanes. we take a lane away from motorized traffic.

      Thanks for demonstrating your sheer lack of credentials on the subject. Just taking space away from cars, painting some more white lines, and calling it a day leads to: * Increased car congestion. * Drivers annoyed at the cyclists disrupting car traffic, if there are any, and the bike lanes making driving in general hazardous and inconvenient. * Cyclists (if there are any) fearful of the hunks of metal several tons heavy barreling around right next to them. * Underutilized bike lanes because cyclists have no practical destinations to go to; a layout for cars is not a layout for bicycles. Ultimately noone's happy, tons of taxpayer dollars are spent for naught, time is wasted. No thank you.
