I am in support of more physically-separated bike lanes, frankly... even if I don't necessarily agree with on which streets they get installed. Anything to keep cyclists off the fecking sidewalk, because as a Beltline-dweller who walks around a lot, I will tell you to stop dinging in my fecking ear and get onto the road where you belong. And as a driver, I would prefer they not be on the road either.

This is exactly it. We need more bike lanes, not less. Cyclists aren't going anywhere so you might as well build infrastructure. Particularly since it's low ost high effectiveness. This is smart spending. If you're a driver, pedestrian, or cyclist, you should support this.
