Huh, this area is more controversial than I had realized. I think you're grabbing that quote from this article: https://oaklandside.org/2021/07/08/protected-bicycle-lanes-telegraph-avenue-transportation-department-oakland/ https://oaklandside.org/2021/07/08/protected-bicycle-lanes-t... But even the head of OakDOT is quoted as agreeing with me here, that their project turned out to be too unsafe! And yet many of the statistics, as you point out, look good. I dunno, I guess we'll see. It's a nice area, regardless, I just have fundamental doubts about the theory of "if we distract drivers, they will slow down, thus making the roads safer".
