But that is not going to happen, and surely not because of burr-under-the-saddle measures like this that merely try to irritate people.

Encouraging everyone to drive on already congested streets would also be a disservice, and cycling infrastructure is cheaper for the taxpayer than new car lanes while also improving vehicular flow.
