instead of.... spending the money digging up random water mains to see if they're still working?

There's some infrastructure that you just run to failure, water mains are one of them. There are water pipes in new york city that are still made of cored out oak trees from 100+ years ago that city works randomly comes across when they're fixing stuff. I'm not even kidding.

Montreal is a special mess right now in terms of infrastructure crumbling. There's construction everywhere and there's been a lot of flooding lately.
I also have to admit, I don't quite get the bike lane thing in Canada with our weather.

I bike year round. So do tons of scandiniavians. The more infrastructure you have, the more folks will cycle. We should be expanding bike lane networks in all our cities. Practical solution to congestion. That or transit are really the only solutions.
