>I’ve simply stated that the bike lanes as they are, are underutilized and increased traffic congestion.

Fuck these arguments are horribly illogical but I'll take the bait.

I'd love to see the stats on that, not that it matters, we make investments all the time because we know from the evidence it works out in the long run, right? You also know that in that long run, congestion decreases and this infrastructure is more used, right...? How do you think cars came about? Or acceptance of renewable energy? Or literally anything else? It's a mindset shift through infrastructure, something we do all the time to advance society.

Anyhoo, all the more reason to keep moving forward with building more.
