    They did this in my area as well. Took like 15 years for us to get bike lanes put in an area. A bunch of residents in the area were complaining that they were running over the armadillo lane separators with their cars. A few months later the city came back out and ripped them out.

        I was thinking mostly of the economic impacts of just not having a bike lane, which has been shown repeatedly to be a big benefit to local economies, not to mention the money it saves on infrastructure maintenance with fewer vehicles beating up the pavement.
