Councilor Les Horne said the bike lanes along Main Street are seldom used and he feels they create a safety hazard to drivers.

    Maybe… And hear me out here… The solution is to improve bike infrastructure so people actually want to use the lanes?

      I wouldn’t be surprised if people do use the lanes, and they just look empty to people who aren’t actually measuring because they have so much more capacity than general-purpose lanes do. A general-purpose lane with 500 cars per hour looks pretty busy, but a bike lane would need more like 1500 bikes per hour to appear similarly used.
