    We’ve invented means to clear roads of snow, that’s how we manage to make cars go on them during winter

          That would absolutely not clear a 2 lane street with a bike lane on the side of 2 feet of snow and keep the bike lane clear. Be serious.

            There’s going to be a type of snow clearing device for every type of bike lane

            Do you want me to keep googling them for you until you run out of ideas and then stop responding?

            Come on

              Also, they keep talking about bike lanes on the side of an existing road, ignoring the whole concept of dedicated trails. I live in a small rural town where we have such trails – they’re just not maintained in the winter. I’ve talked to my city council rep and the chamber of commerce about how keeping the trails open would benefit civilians, especially those new to the community, and they’ve at least seemed open to the idea. It’s possible to make this change.

              Sure, you google me a snow clearing device that will clear plowed snow after a 2-foot snowfall away from a bike lane that abuts a bunch of parked cars on a narrow street and also doesn’t create a traffic hazard. Because that’s what we deal with in my town.
