PIC Webinar Question: Mike Cardinal 05:30 PM | Jeff Hagan: please look at how often PROTECTED BIKE LANES have been called for in the WDBA listening sessions and in these details. Please use your abundant skill to find solutions. For example: like in Montreal, Detroit, Toronto, and throughout Europe, we see two-way bike lanes, 2 meters or so wide, on one side of the roadway, protected by parked cars and a curb to keep the parked cars off the wider bike lane. Don't gaslight us. We see this for ourselves in successful cities. Build this for the future, not the minimums of the past! This question has been answered live | Not aware off WDBA listening sessions. Protected Bike lanes are not possible due to narrow ROW and other infrastructure in the way. |
