Lower Duck Pond's Makeshift Bike Lanes

On December the 1st, a group of bike-friendly ducklings decided to paint makeshift bike lanes all over Lower Duck Pond. The group, consisting most importantly of Mogens Abbott, Sam Woods and Reginald, met up by the Lower Duck Pond Public Library and painted bike lanes all over town; beginning in the central area and moving out to the north and south. 
Moon Blossom and Kayla also helped out making the makeshift bike lanes, with the latter dipping her bike wheel in white paint to make the lane painting quicker and more efficient. Moon Blossom used a bicycle-powered car to create makeshift bike lanes outside of city hall. Due to intoxication, Mogens accidentally made some of the northernmost bike lanes completely pink. 
It is not yet known whether the makeshift bike lanes will in fact turn Lower Duck Pond into a more bike-friendly community or if local car-drivers will simply ignore the new lanes. There's no new rules and regulations applied to the new bike lanes, meaning that car drivers have the juridical right to drive within the new lanes. 
== Criticism from City council ==
The effort to give Lower Duck Pond bike lanes came under fire from city hall, where councilman Sam Sadler called for action from the mayor and his office, rather than from bike-enthusiast. Sam Sadler made a failed mayoral bid during the 2019 election. "I commend the efforts and I strongly agree that we need these kinds of lanes to support our cyclists, but I must implore you to stop; these lanes will not serve an effective purpose since they will not have been sanctioned by the Public Works or the Town, and will not be considered valid."-Sam SadlerSam Sadler argued that Lower Duck Pond in fact are in need of bike lanes, but that they have to be official and created by Public Works or the Town, and not by ordinary inhabitants of Lower Duck Pond. Furthermore, Sam Sadler made the case that unless there's proper signage as well as lightning; the bike lanes will not serve it's full function completely. 
Despite the criticism, the bike-enthusiast bought white paint, met up at the library and painted some of the streets, sidewalks and rail trails partially white in order to make more room for cyclists. 
As of December the 1st, mayor Jim is yet to make an official statement on the makeshift bike lanes, and it's unclear whether he will let them remain or remove them completely.
