By themselves, they are not bad.I just don't see how building bike lanes and making cities more pedestrian-friendly are bad things.
But they don't exist in a vacuum.
The money spent on them comes from somewhere. Maybe it would have been better spent on making the judicial system clear up some of the backlog.
On the other hand, maybe it makes the city nicer, more people move in, tax base goes up.
Good and bad.
Also, where is the space for the bike lane coming from.
I've seen a line painted on the ground, and NOTHING else. That's not a bike lane. It's a kill zone.
Some places takes away a car lane. And then traffic gets worse.
Are we knocking buildings down and re planning roads and traffic?
No. Because then they would catch heat from all the people displaced.
