^^What would you do when you have to make a level change? I like the idea, but I am not sure how you would go about putting in ramps where the stairs are- not to mention they would be pretty steep, unless you you make them at 7%- then it could work, but they would be awfully long..
With regards to bike paths in this city. Honestly it is a disgrace how few lanes we have and of the lanes we do have, how little room is actually allocated for the bike is ridiculous. I ride my bike everyday- a little less now with all the rain and finally snow- but I ride a lot and I often find myself wondering why, as many other cyclists have also wondered, we are totally ignored?
I agree that some cyclists need to learn the rules of the road and obey them- but give us a space to ride and then maybe people would be more inclined to obey because they actually feel like they are part of the traffic. I have been bumped by cars, doored, squeezed off the road, pushed from behind etc., all by f-ing asshole drivers wanting to make a point that I am either not welcome on the road or completely oblivious to the fact that I am there.
Yet, even when there are bike lanes, they are constantly disregarded- people parking in the lanes, driving in them etc. Nonetheless, more bike lanes would make a hell of a lot of us feel better about riding and knowing that we actually have a space to ride. There are a lot of cyclists out there and I am sure many of them feel the same way.
