As the article mentions, I applud efforts to up-armor existing bike lanes to make them safer against car and truck intrusions.
But we should be pushing a lot harder for more bike lanes that are protected by concrete barriers AND more connections to things like south Seattle, west seattle, and greenlake.
It's really frustrating to watch massive roads go into places like the waterfront that are just going to ferry cars between North and South seattle. That money could have been spent better elsewhere, building out a staggering number of bike lanes at a much lower cost.
