we already share one thing with the great city of copenhagen. somethings rotten here to. but only at city hall and the state house and in the neighborhoods. it's called lack of leadership. otherwise as a formerly proud and once great city, we're just ducky. ma

Bike lanes would be great. If any city planners would like to see how to design for Boston they would do well to look at Montreal as a model. Tons of separated bike lanes in the downtown section. They also have dedicated bus lanes on the highways going out of the city. That's right, dedicated bus lanes. That means no cars. No waiting. The real answer here is to promote the idea that everyone live closer to where they work. Derrick, how many of the one percent of commuters currently riding bikes actually live close enough to bike into work?

I think this is a good idea. Let's take it one step further. If we make it safer for bike riders they should also be subject to penalities for violating bicycle safety rules.

Your act is getting old. If Boston is so bad, why do you still live there? Stay in the Herald comment section. that is where name calling is the norm.

Even better is the fact that Copenhagen, and a number of other places have found consistently that drive tends to cost the public/taxpayers about 25cents a mile. Bicyclists actually yield a net 12 cent benefit to the public for every per mile traveled. Transit, more or less breaks even, walking of course can yield an even bigger economic return. Now considering that the typical driver here in the U.S. covers more than 12,000 miles a year, that amounts to one heck of a subsidy. Some $3,000 per person; roughly. I just wonder why its okay for suburban drivers to moan and groan about paying even the slightest share of anything transit-related
