This is good for getting around people turning left, but somewhat reduces the effectiveness and the safety afforded to cyclists by having a designated bike lane.
I think with the volume of traffic they routinely handle, 12 Ave and 5 St were both bad ideas. I don't oppose bike lanes, but I am a proponent of trying to keep bikes and cars away from each other as much as possible, including not trying to use a high volume route for cars to accommodate bicycles.
But I'm not a civil engineer; I just play one on Cities: Skylines.

This is how I see it as well. All for bike safety, and I hope that the bike lines are absolutely full of bikers in the near future. My fear, however, is that they may have misallocated a scarce resource (a lane on 5th or 12th) that may now be underutilized and causing more issues to a larger group of commuters.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
