The CD is getting some more sharrows. I live on a street with sharrows, and I don’t see a huge benefit to them. But if they’re at least a big honking sign saying “bicycles exist” then they’re probably worthwhile.
Biking in this (or any) city is tough. So few people bike these days that anything that increases the number of bikers and/or bike safety even a bit has to be seen as a success. Fortunately, like urban renewal, it’s subject to feedback loops. The more people who bike the safer biking becomes, which gets more people biking, etc., etc.
