There is a little bit of controversy around the bike paths in Montreal, because car users complain that they don’t do enough for them. The city is crippled with many road repairs and projects that moving through the city a pain in the ass. Anyway, it’s obvious that Projet Montreal doesn’t care about car users.
Anyway, it’s obvious that Projet Montreal doesn’t care about car users.
As someone who drives Hochelaga-Senneville and back daily: GOOD.
For the great majority of people driving around Montreal is unnecessary and cumbersome. Making roads more accessible and safe to cyclists is only logical and frees up space for the rest of us who must drive.
For the record and in the spirit of full disclosure, if I can get somewhere by bike in less than an hour I do and I used to do it daily for work.
Calgary and perhaps all cities have the same discourse. The car only people get upset when bike paths or BRTs are made.
Given there are lots of roads here that are inaccessible by bike, transit or walking having no shoulders or sidewalks, I’m always happy when another option is added.
I definitely don’t think of Montreal as a driving city but consider that a part of the appeal when visiting.
I bike, walk and drive and am generally happy when all infrastructure is updated.
Bikes take up way less space than cars. The more bike infrastructure there is, the more cyclists there are, the fewer cars there are in the roads, the less traffic there is.
Drivers benefit from bicycle infrastructure. Everyone benefits from bicycle infrastructure. The more cars we can displace from roads, the better it is for literally everyone. (Aside from those selling cars, gas, and related industries, I suppose.)
Car brains love to crybully whenever anything happens that they feel doesn’t directly benefit them. The irony being that the (comparatively) tiny investment in bike infrastructure still benefits them by reducing the number of cars on the road.

It’s a silly argument, too.

Repairing roads is not caring about car users?
