“Nobody uses the bike lanes in Kansas City!”  A new Gillham Road report says otherwise.

Evidence-based analysis for Gillham Road shows bike lanes are well-used and encourage people to bike more than before. People love it and want to see more protected places to bike, walk, and roll.

Had a particularly eventful ride across the heart of Downtown KCMO this week that reinforced the need for a safe and protected east-west bikeway. I'm safe, and so is the family of five who were biking to school together.

The 11th/12th Street pair is on the city's bike plan, and there was a planning project in 2021 to design both a bikeway and a transit lane, but there has been no movement to construct the safety improvements.

🧵 #VisionZeroKC #VisionZero

Lots of emotion-based hot takes in #KC this week, so a reminder that protected bike lanes are an evidenced-based strategy for getting more people biking more frequently.
