Others have already pointed this out but given Wu’s giant win over Kraft last night, I think it is safe to say that Boston loves bike lanes and the White Stadium project.

Starting to think humans are just doomed to repeat history whether they know it or not.
The government's colossal failure to respond after Hurricane Katrina led to major reforms at the nation's top disaster agency. Now, the Trump administration has reversed some of those changes.
Hurricane Katrina forced changes at FEMA. Trump is rolling them back

If you rail against bike infrastructure because of the (relatively modest) initial costs, you’re definitively ignorant of how city taxpayer dollars are shoveled into a bottomless pit to support driving as the default, and of how much providing alternatives does to stanch that fiscal bleeding.

Imo, Edmonton needs to have official bike counter signs like this one. I’d even donate to one.
I remember being in awe when I saw my first counter in Victoria years ago & being awestruck at the number of cyclists recorded (which meant less people in cars) & that was before I even owned a bike!

Rule 59: Build Cycle Tracks Properly
Good cycle tracks have 5' lanes each way, a 3' buffer from traffic & are often safer on the left side of one-way streets. Buffers can be paint, curbs, or islands.

In New York State, approximately 300 pedestrians are killed & 15,000 are injured by motor vehicle drivers each year on the state’s roadways. More than 3,000 pedestrians are admitted to the hospital annually. A small 7-second head start helps prevent deaths & injuries. More cities should adopt this.
“Giving pedestrians a 7-second head start at traffic lights—known as Leading Pedestrian Intervals (LPIs)—is associated with a 33% reduction in total pedestrian injuries—both fatal & non-fatal—at New York City intersections, according to a new study from Columbia University School of Public Health.”

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million.
If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000.
Watching working class conservatives and politicians completely meltdown about this is wild.

Even if we didn’t have this example, we literally watched it happen in real time on social media to Paris. Better cities is a choice we make.
Remember this picture, & others like it, every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."
This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s.
Many of the cities we admire made better choices regarding cars in the past. and are still making better choices today.
Better choices instead of excuses.

Ya, perceptions and fear of change are major hurdles. We could achieve a lot with dedicated bus lanes, and you're correct, many roads would see no meaningful change in throughput!
