The only downside I’ve discovered, at least in Chicago, is that funding for separated bike lines usually don’t include funding for separate snow removal.
Not that having the bike lane on the very edge of the plows path isn’t a mixed bag too. You’re as likely to get incidental clearing as you are incidental piles from the road clearing.
Honestly it’s probably a wash, but I wish there was snow removal funding.
In Berlin there is noone who's responsible for removing snow on bike lanes OR even most sidewalks. Only roads. We don't often get much snow, but now the city is now basically uncyclable until it melts away..
Someone is always waiting for someone else to take the first step.
