Glad to hear! Hopefully some sense can be brought into the debate on cycling lanes! Thank you Corey for also sharing.

Palm Springs Ca. has done a fine job of integrating bike lanes with sidewalks and traffic. They use more traditional (unprotected) bike lanes on many streets. They've done it without lowering speed limits and avoiding, for the most part, causing a nuisance for drivers. There will always be conflicts between bikes and automobiles but a few cities are figuring out good compromises .

I’m skeptical of most projects that turn sidewalks (space for pedestrians) into anything for bicycling but am curious of PS’s projects. Which roads or areas in the city have these features?

Sorry for the late reply. Significant parts of Sunrise and Ramon have integrated cycling and walking space, lesser parts of Farrell Dr. also. The bike lanes on roads seem to be ever expanding. It appears to me, as if they are preparing to add bike lanes on Gerald Ford Dr. so that one could ride from downtown PS to Cathedral City on various paths, connect there with Gerald Ford and ride all to the La Quinta area. Hoping I live to ride it!
