I’m trying to secure wholly separate bike lanes, or at least flexi-posts, anything but a sharrow or a line of paint. Tbh, I dunno how that’ll work with a street sweeper.

There are little sidewalk sweepers about the size of golf carts that get used by colleges, it would work perfectly for a bidirectional bike lane.

The mini sweepers work just fine in both Toronto and Montreal. Heck, in Montreal they clear the bike lanes even in the winter, often better than the roads. Additionally the local bike share is open 365 days a year now, they are equipped with studded tires between November and April.

Curious to hear about your experience.

Can you get narrower car lanes? Trying to cross an 8 lane stroad that has 12ft wide lanes in the middle of town is hellish.

I don’t know if I can; it’s not, well, in my lane as a bicycle/pedestrian committee member. I still show up and advocate for lane narrowing and traffic calming at the city council meetings.

Yes it is!

Start by demanding floating roundabouts and bridges for pedestrians and cyclists and let them work back to lane narrowing.

They need the small ones, that’s for sure. I would work that into my plan if I were you.

I don’t know. Me and class II bike lanes are not in a good place right now. I’m not saying they don’t have their place, but we’ve got them as narrow ass lanes barely big enough to stand in directly next to arterial traffic doing ~40 mph, no buffer, no rumble strips, no flexible bollards, just paint. This is obviously dangerous infrastructure to anyone who isn’t lying to themselves, and it shows in our injury/fatality rates for cyclists.
