I have nothing against cyclists or cycle lanes per se but I think the actions taken by the council are way OTT. Not the number of lanes but the size of them and the infrastructure enabling them. The one on Hurbert St is a hood example. Huge magnificent and largely deserted. How much did that cost.
There are more cost effective ways of marking cycle lanes and the money squandered on these coulbs be supporting mental health and care in the community, homelessness and the like. It seems like a sledgehammer to crack a nut and it is driven by the anti-car people taking advantage of the pandemic
