"Montréal is often hailed as the most “biking-friendly” city in North America. But our research has found that only 2.3 per cent of the city’s roadways are allocated to bike infrastructure, with car infrastructure occupying the remaining 97.7 per cent of road space."
"...the current imbalance of spatial allocation is so overwhelmingly in favour of cars that it’s possible to make substantial improvements to bike infrastructure without significantly decreasing the space allocated per driver."
Something that should be obvious to everybody.
Melbourne has a similarly tiny amount of space allocated to bicycles with the same weird reaction for motorists about bicycles taking over everything.
