Subject: Why no protected bike lanes?

I recently spent six days in Boca Raton with my wife, visiting my father, who turned 93. I brought my Brompton bike and cycled mostly on the A1A, which was relatively safe, but the bike lanes are not protected. I fervently hope that Boca Raton and all cities and towns will realize sooner rather than later that improving the cycling and pedestrian infrastructure enhances everyone’s quality of life. I plan to return to Boca with my bike at least two times a year so that I would welcome real protected bike lanes.
