I'm glad these optimizations were done to the bike lanes.

Last night after my GO trip coming home West Harbour (and then visiting an event at 294 James), I cycled SoBi home approximately 10:30pm via Cannon and was surprised to see 7 SoBi's and more than one dozen other cyclists (total about two dozen cycles). I biked past less than 50 cars in motion on Cannon during this interval ~10:30pm-10:40pm.

The cycle:car surface ratio actually was pretty competitive for this time period! The road surface allocation is 75% cars, 25% bikes (1 of 4 lanes). It was definitely more than 25% bikes last night during the few minutes I rode from James to Sherman! Hopefully this becomes more commonplace to see road surface area allocation percentage favour bikes over cars, and hopefully eventually during peak period too.

The usage of Cannon has certainly overall gone up.

I look forward to seeing Herkimer/Charlton to quickly gain good ratios on bikes-in-motion versus cars-in-motion.
