I can't see how it would be a good idea to compromise every other public institution for a very expensive, large-scale construction project to accommodate a vanishingly small subset of travelers. Most places don't even have good public transport. I'd rather see the money go there, and cyclists who need to get around places they can't cycle can take their bikes on those while everybody else benefits as well.
