  • I’m saying this first: this is not a blame or an accusation, just my personal observations.

    A lot of people, including those of us who work in this industry, don’t realize this when building bike infrastructure — they need to be connected. Few people would try to ride if their trips require riding on a wide, fast street without protection between two pieces of protected bike infrastructure.

    Yours might be all connected and well protected and still next to zero users, in which case, I’m sorry about that. But throughout my career I’ve seen sooooo many municipalities/MPOs just splatter bike lanes all over the places with few of them connected, and later come to us asking why few people use them….
