    I’m not sure if this is just hilariously optimistic, or some kind of sinister and deliberate murder-by–urban-planning

      Neither. The highway engineer got told to add a bike lane, said “ugh fine” and scribbled it along the side without thinking about it.

      Nobody’s expecting these to be used, it’s some quota where they have to build X number of kms of bike lane so the politicians can placate us and hope nobody notices.

        This. Its what happens when city council says do something without actually giving the millions of dollars needed to hire the folks to design an actual solution to improve the bikeability of their district
