I am positive that there will be more injuries in this new facility than there ever were without it.
On that note: I have a colleague in Columbus, Ohio. The city installed
a bi-directional cycle track on something like 15 blocks (IIRC) of
mostly residential streets north of the university.
She reports that in the year before the installation, there were two
car-bike crashes in that stretch. In the year after, there were 15.
Somehow, the cycle track fans are not trumpeting those crash statistics.
