There are fewer bicyclists in the winter, but no matter what time of year, there are people commuting by bicycle. This is a very busy route, and it deserves protected bicycle lanes.

About 1/2 as many during the winter, which is still a large amount on this segment. And separated bike lanes will only improve the winter retention.

I/2 seems really high based on my experience, is there any source for this? I know people who bike in during the warmer months, and only one that really swaps out their tires for studs and goes all-in in case of ice etc. I see it going from clusters in May and June to just a handful to often none -- though some decide to walk or drive instead. That's anecdotal so I'd be interested in where you're seeing it.
