Downtown Bicycling

How is Minneapolis considered one of the best cities for Bicyclists, but our downtown bike infrastructure is so bad?

Are there significant plans in place to address this and make the downtown truly bikeable?

I can’t imagine biking downtown with kids (which is a measure I like to use to determine how good the infrastructure is) and many of the connecting trails (ie - along Hiawatha and the light rail into downtown) feel so unsafe. I’d be hesitant to use it with kids or as a solo female cyclists.
