This is sort of off topic (haha!) but not completely. I've noticed that other cities just seem to have lots of dedicated bike lines on city streets, actually demarcated lanes, not 'suggestions', yet here sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get this sorts of things established. It occured to me that could our unicity be the issue? The pro being that we don't lose suburban tax dollars, but in many other cities the suburbs are not actually in the city, so the city proper is pretty much all urban, possibly paving the way for urban amenities to appear with little opposition. Curious if there might be any validity to that.
