And how much of that 2% is actually separated bike lane? Paint is not infrastructure

A white line with a bike symbol painted on the road doesnt protect anyone

Only 2% of public roads! That's way less than I would have guessed, but I guess it makes sense. I wonder how much is car exclusive. Of the car roads, many are technically shared.

I’m curious: what counts as a road with a bike lane? Does that statistic mean that of all the toad surface, 2% has a bike lane beside or on it, or does that mean for every named road, 2% of them have a section that has a bike lane on it?

Because in my city, road improvements are paid for by property development. As a result, we have roads that have “bike lanes to nowhere” where you’ve got a separated bike lane for 2 blocks, that abruptly vanishes at both ends, sometimes into a shoulderless stretch of one or two lane roadway shared by everyone.

If that 2% is actually properly designed bike artery that’s fed by low density shared roadways, that’s actually pretty good. If it’s just randomly scattered throughout the city, it might be more dangerous than having no bike lanes at all.

Montreal is zoned 45% for single family homes. Still high, but at least they've made an attempt at nicer cities compared to the rest of the provinces.

They’re selfish pricks who think only they should catered to.
