"We clipped the wings of some of our local communities because they were a little too NIMBY... We reduced parking requirements. We worked with the fire marshals to allow 6-story apartments with single staircase."

                Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says โ Streetsblog USA
                Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikesย and people in cars and on foot, a new studyย of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.
            
        
    
    
            Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.
For sharrows, itโs actually safer to NOT have them.
