I could appreciate Precinct 4's claim that bike lanes in the road are not safe if they were willing to offer an alternative. Anchorage, Alaska is a great example where they made a bike path all the way from out in the suburbs to downtown and it is grade separated from the road at highway and road crossings. If Precinct 4 were willing to do something like that, I could accept their objection to putting bike lanes on roads. But if the "safety" concern is just an excuse not to accomodate cyclists, then they need to be called out on it.
