Agreed. From what I can tell, it looks like the cycling map is showing new cycling infrastructure on roads that have absolutely zero cycling infrastructure now. I think many of the gaps technically have bike lanes, but it's those awful painted ones with no separation between the bike lane and car lane. I read somewhere that the City has plans to eventually upgrade the painted bike lanes on busy roads to protected cycling infrastructure. A similar thing was done on Platts Lane last year when it was torn up for construction (painted bike lanes replaced w/ boulevard paths).
I live just off of Fanshawe between Adelaide and Highbury and while there are bike lanes, they are painted ones, and it's awful riding right next to speeding traffic at my handle bar. I go out of my way to go through my subdivision to bypass the painted lanes to get to the protected bike path on Fanshawe west of Adelaide.
