Impact analysis
Adding buffered bike lanes can add 15–20% to roadway construction costs; the plan sets standards but leaves funding and developer credits to later discussions.
Cyclists, pedestrians, and e-bike riders — including children — gain safer, separated facilities as roads are rebuilt.
Developers could face higher roadway construction costs, though the plan leaves cost-credit questions for later.
