Sorry if you mistook my post for me taking a side. I wasn't. I was just pointing out a peculiarity I noticed in the article. I'm actually for increased bike routes, as that will decrease the number of people injured in bicycle v. motor vehicle collisions. This is my personal view, though.

However, there's a massive distinction that we have to realize: garages are privately-owned, whereas parking is municipally-regulated. The city is switching out public parking for public bicycle paths, and I don't necessarily know if this a net positive economically.
