I’m glad that the 12% of bike users in prov are enjoying them(pg 15) (https://pvdstreets.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/21-8057-Providence-Great-Streets-Initiative-Report.pdf Maybe you see those type of people in downtown or on the east side ( though I usually see people walk or use the electric scooters atp) but in the North and South I see even less than a handful. And that joke of an initiative near PC should shine a light on how much they’re “needed”. The bike path that cost thousands to make, and then we get rid of it a week later, costing thousands more. Most of the bike paths we have have been heavily opposed including students themselves https://www.browndailyherald.com/article/2021/11/mcgough-23-biking-in-providence-is-bad-and-brown-is-part-of-the-problem. Im here for the planet, and sustainability but providence is too small, and filled up w too many people who use cars for there to be a lane taken away and given up for 1 person to use. I could see the funds being used for a lot more, like the craters on the roads, but Elorza doesn’t have my vote, and idc what anyone says 🤷🏽♀️ kinda new to Reddit so go ahead and dislike this comment? Idek what the arrows are for tbh

That’s about 22,000 people in Providence alone who use bikes. Does that even count all the folks from the surrounding areas who bike in to providence?
A huge difference from the “handful” you originally purported.
