Tf is the point of bike lanes if they can be blocked in???
Hopefully no one has anything sharp on their bikes and if they do they don’t ride too close to the paint or tires of those poor cars.
Nothing sharp on my bike. But I’ve always got a pocketknife on my rides in case some road rager wants to have a conversation.
Would he oppose a law stating bikes can’t be parked in car lanes?
Matches my experience trying to politely ask a local police officer why he and a delivery truck were parked in the bike lane.
It looks like they already have parks there with a trail system. Maybe some of it could be connected with dedicated trails that don’t just run on the side of the road.
It looks like near Cottonwood Heights, there’s the Jordan River Parkway Trail, which appears to be paved, and looks like it north-south spans Salt Lake City.

I-215 passes along Cottonwood Heights. It looks like it has a sound barrier along at least part of it, with an undeveloped area on both sides to help keep noise away from houses. If one put an east-west bike trail along that, you could use that to get from Cottonwood Heights to Jordan River Parkway Trail.
Parks and trail systems are not sufficient, in my experience. Sure, they’re great if you’re just out for relaxation or exercise, but they are generally not a lot of help if you’re riding your bike to and from work or a store.

Some people bike to get somewhere, not for exercise.
Or for getting exercise while you get somewhere, on a vehicle that costs a fraction of the price, helps you stay healthy, lose weight, and runs on yesterday’s cake.
