Are Bike Lanes on Both Sides of a Street Needed?

[Király]

I cycle daily here in Vancouver where have tons and tons of bike lanes of all types, and I hate the 2-way ones the most. Bikes riding in the same direction as the rest of traffic works best for all road users.

Gratiot is massively wide and has hardly any traffic. There's plenty of room for a bike lane on either side.

Gratiot is massively wide and has hardly any traffic. There's plenty of room for a bike lane on either side.

I will say, Gratiot tends to be fairly busy and well utilized during rush hour [[with it being an alternatively fast route in/out of the city aside from I-94), but that's about it.

Any other time of the day or on the weekend, you could probably nap in the middle of Gratiot and not get hit.
