I wish drivers actually understood that sometimes a road diet and protected cycling infrastructure can improve things for drivers too. I far rather know exactly where to expect to find cyclists rather than have to guess that they might be squeezed on the shoulder, on the sidewalk, or in my lane. Frederick between River and Bruce is 4 lanes, but they're pretty much useless and unnecessary. It would be far better as a driver to have protected infrastructure for cyclists and just two lanes with possibly a centre turn lane. You get a safer street, and traffic moves more quickly and smoothly. In effect we *can* have our cake and eat it too.
