This part of Baltimore doesn't fit this model, however, since parking was not removed. The bike lane was inserted between the parking zone and the curb. Previously, the bike lane was between the rightmost travel lane and the parking zone.

I'm not saying Baltimore did that. I'm just saying you can't just go around with a hammer looking for nails because you have a politically popular hammer. It's not going to work in every case.

in this particular neighborhood, the bike lane was also fairly unpopular with local cyclists too, who felt they were being forced to bike through the dirtiest, most obstacle prone portion of the road.
