@jessta@aus.social Yes, and even if you switch to actually good bike infrastructure, as the CPFC program was for pretty nice car parks, it is still really compelling, because good cycle infrastructure is also cheap :)

@LovesTha@floss.social Definitely, but I'd prefer to have the quick build than to have less infrastructure. Quick build gives you the option of saying it's a 'trial' to work around the doomsayers and the ability to do lots of it over a wide area all at once to build the network. The problem with good bicycle infrastructure is that it tends to end up being part of a complete street rebuild which means large total costs, big risk and thus long complex consultations etc. $100m on a quick build whole network(700km) that is put forward as a bunch of trials and some of it gets rolled back would be amazing.
