+Seville, Spain built a full protected bike lane network and saw ridership increase > 400% and the risk of bike and car
+crashes decline > 60%. The share of total trips taken in the area went from near 0% by bike to almost 9%, a mode shift

+In one case sidewalk riding went down 81% despite bike volume going up 190%.

+NYC DOT added 3.18 miles of protected bike lanes in East NY, Brooklyn. The subsequent traffic calming and shortened
+crossing distance reduced death and serious injuries for all road users (that's drivers included) by 18.1%. For senior
+pedestrians the decline was 39%!
