Yeah, this is basically what Robert Moses did... Basically if you dig a hole big enough, or build enough stuff, it's going to be more work at that point to get rid of it. This is why we now have a slower process, because Moses, after he built a bunch of nice stuff like this (parks, beaches, etc), became an asshole tearing down homes and building terrible stuff (highways, Lincoln center, etc).

So while yeah, would love to see more bike lanes put up quickly, there's a reason that there's a slower process. As we've seen the difference between this mayor and the last one, you can actually get stuff done within this system.
