I've seen the lanes leading up to the old Federal Building snarled a number of times in the last couple of days. To be fair, this is as much because it's not visible until you're two blocks away, and people seem to be getting used to it.

As for the Veledrome, it's a sporting facility and not a traffic project. The notion that it would negatively impact bike lanes depends on some fairly vindictive accounting. Would a new Formula One racetrack mean less cash for highways?

If there's one budget that needs to be looted in favour of bike lanes it's not sport cycling, it's other road-building projects. If we nix the Mid-Pen highway, we can easily afford both.
