The proposals involve bikelanes separate from sidewalks, instead of creating an asphalt sidewalk and calling it a mixed-use trail.
I like it. Especially separating pedestrians from cyclists. I've always thought "mixed use trails" were not a good idea.

I think it's good to build it now, while it is relatively easy to put it in place, and before the demand is there. Even if the bicycle lanes aren't heavily used by commuters, it will still provide yet another safe route for recreational cyclists, which can only be a good thing.

Of course there will be those who think that we should be making things more difficult for people living in these areas because they think improvements such as these will encourage sprawl. I'm glad the city doesn't seem to have that mindset, though, as people living off the peninsula should have access to safe, efficient travel as well.
