(1) There is a fundamental lack of knowledge and education in this city regarding the laws (HTA) or best practices, common sense courtesies regardless if you are a cyclist, driver, commercial bike driver (uber eats) or pedestrian.

Drivers open doors onto roadways, cyclists don’t know they are vehicles and therefore constantly brake the laws, pedestrians walk in front of vehicles constantly while on cell phones, commercial bike drivers brake the laws everywhere (on the sidewalk, going the wrong way), and all cyclist over 16 on sidewalks, etc, etc.

(2). Require all cyclists to obtain a license especially commercial bike drivers ( a small fee to pay for the costs but it’s mainly to educate). Videos, written content, etc.

It’s mandatory to obtain a boat license - why is it NOT mandatory to obtain a bike license especially when you’re over 16 yrs of age and legally not permitted to ride on the sidewalk?

Education, accountability, policing !!

A private /public agency could take this mandate on and likely figure out a way to self fund it.

Concurrently, redesign the bikes lanes incorporating consistent visual, physical and graphic communications - eliminate the many design aberrations that currently exist. Then, educate all stakeholders on the laws and proper protocols on how cyclists and drivers must behave.
