Conclusion from 32 studies about the economic impact of bike lanes:
"Making streets friendlier for bikes — and sidewalks friendlier for pedestrians — is actually good for business. The rise of complete streets and road diets...has been a huge [economic] boon."
@davidzipper In my local town in Greece, where streets are very narrow, there are two parallel business streets, one open to cars and the other not. The one without cars is always crowded with people, the one with cars feels deserted.
Drivers who want to get to the pedestrian area park on one of the several large parking lots outside, and walk.
