This is a good start, the special interest groups at the local level seem to have too much power. Here in Ottawa, bike lanes went up on a main aterial business street bank street and it has turned into a parking lot and the bike lane sits empty. They are a expense to install and remove for the winter. We only have so much tax dollars and if I have to choose I would rather feed the homeless considering that people with $2000 bikes and $300 riding outfit have their dedicated lane at public expense and it is an expensive uber eat and door dash subsidy when we have higher priroties.

I suspect tpt as a Service wil eventually destroy all the premise for these bike lanes anyway. Solving tomorrow problem with yesterday out of context studies seems stupid to me.

Some bike lanes are great but they are not a method of mass transit. The City of Ottawa has completly ruined public transit, we have an LRT bought at walmart that is always broken an d buses now don't have the right routes anymore.

Solve congestion by improving public transit and make it free and or affordable. It is mostly subsidized anyway, why not go the extra mile? That would make more of an impact then the useless carbon taz in reducing emission.
