Bike lanes, BIXI stations and other micromobility infrastructure make up just 2% of Montreal's street space—even in neighborhoods where cycling demand would justify more—according to a new study by McGill University researchers. They think that the measure they developed to arrive at their findings can also help assess the situation...
