I think an elevated bikeway would definitely be less terrible than an elevated train or six-lane freeway. It&#x27;d be both narrower and quieter. It would still be kind of unfortunate for those under it though, especially if they wanted to proceed with the &quot;urban elevated parkway&quot;-type concept (which granted is pretty cool for the people above).<p>That said, from the sound of the traffic problems in the article, I think Austin is going to need a lot more than just bike lanes. It&#x27;s expensive, but they might need to bite the bullet and build a proper subway.
