Some elected leaders say they don’t believe all residents want or would benefit from more bike lanes all over DallasAt least four City Council members said Wednesday during a presentation by city transportation officials on Dallas’ bike plan, that they didn’t see the point of adding more bike lanes to every part of the city in the hopes it’ll increase ridership.
The bike plan in 2011 called for Dallas to create 833 miles of on-street bikeways and 456 miles of off-street options like trails in 10 years. The city had no on-street bikeways, like bike lanes, at the time.of the latest bike plan says Dallas only has 73 miles of on-street bikeways and 147 miles of off-street paved trails. Only 11% of the city’s bike network has a painted line or a physical barrier separating riders from cars on Dallas streets.
