Solid color bike lanes in LA

[Tri Girl]

reading the article it says bike lanes cost between 50 thousand and one hundred thousand dollars per mile? Painting it adds 5,000. The basic number seems high to me unless you are having to tear out sidewalks and redo entire paving, marking, curbing etc. per mile.

Still an awesome idea.

I wonder how that is. I know that a mile of highway costs a couple million to build- so maybe that's about right. Hmm... do they figure in the materials, the equipment and the labor costs?
But STILL- bike lanes are MUCH CHEAPER THAN HIGHWAYS- so build me more bike lanes, city of OKC.
