On the Valencia cycle track:
“It is an abomination. It is the worst infrastructure I have ever seen anywhere in the world,” said Mikael Colville-Andersen, an urban designer and founder of the Copenhagenize Design Company.
From what I hear, though, even some of SFMTA's engineers felt that way.
To me, it looks like a bicycle infrastructure version of the Mayor's "get tough on addicts" approach to the City's overdose crisis: doing something that the experts, and even City staff responsible for managing, think is dumb, a bad idea - so as to appear to do something, and because of/designed around business interests.
