One thing I will say for the Ottawa bike lanes and also the new ones going in on Erb: the concrete paving sets them off from the car lanes and makes the motor vehicle part of the road feel narrower. I can’t say what the overall effect is and still don’t get why we’re so hell-bent on keeping the bikes pretty much level with motor vehicles, but I think it’s a noticeable improvement on just having a wide asphalt space marked off with nothing but paint.
