I could be wrong about this (it's the internet, I'm sure someone will correct me), but I think public perception of bike lanes in this city got kind of fucked because one of the previous city councils spent a ton of money without really explaining it properly and they were seemingly installing them on streets where they weren't connected/doing much (this has got a lot better now).
So now the whole thing is just one of those "let's blame this" kind of topics. Kind of like "we'd have better blahblah if they didn't waste all the money on bike lanes". Nimbyism is also really strong in this city.
