The City of Encinitas, California is removing a protected bike lane to replace it with a painted bike lane. Cost? $3 million. The mayor says it's a great idea.

Seems like they overthunk the bike lanes. I think just extra-wide sidewalks work best. If they’re heavily trafficked then they can paint lanes for bikes and pedestrians on them. In my city, the best bike paths are just giant sidewalks that can accommodate fleshy human traffic in general.
