I'm probably not going to win any popularity contests by saying this, but I don't support the recent development of bike lanes in Vancouver. I believe it was poorly planned, and does not benefit many people. It may encourage some people to commute by bike, but only for those who work in that particular area. None of the funding went into bettering or expanding beyond that downtown core.

And might I also say that it does not make commuting downtown any better, as it only goes N/S E/W in two respective lanes, it won't help if you need to go to another street. Getting back onto the bike lanes are sometimes dangerous, if not impossible. Because a lot of downtown traffic is still one-way, unless you want to go the wrong way risking a ticket, you have to go on streets that doesn't even have a bike lane. You're still not any safer than you were before.

They spent over $25million to build just TWO bike lanes. They could have easily spent that money to build better infrastructures that benefits everyone in the city, not just a tiny fraction.

I'm in support of bettering infrastructure that everyone can benefit (not just a few people); this one was poorly planned and ill-spent.

I think I went off a tangent a bit, but I wanted to hi-light that not all bike lanes are created equal.
