I will never ever ever understand why any new projects wouldn't just automatically put a huge MUT on the side of the road when there's an expanse of grass there. It makes no sense to me at all.

This is why the Dutch model works. Dedicated pedestrian infrastructure. Dedicated high-quality (smooth, wide) bike infrastructure that satisfies both low-speed and high-speed cyclists.
In my opinion, having more than just painted lines for a bike lane that goes to Bingeman's would have been a good idea. If there was decent infrastructure I could see my family biking over there, especially if the proposed improvements to the River Rd-Shirley rail overpass happen.
