It’s always all about them. |
+1. Even the DDOT witness last week was amazed at how this somehow became primarily a bike lane project. |
+1. It’s already hard enough to raise kids in this city because of the crazy leftist policies. Please move back to Petworth and live out your Dutch dreams. |
You make this site amazing. Do you have an open mic or anywhere else I can find more of this awesome NIMBY satire |
In this context, biking is not a hobby, it is a form of transportation. You don't really see the lycra clad "bike bros" commuting to work, as that recreational activity is more done out on country roads, not Connecticut Avenue. |
You mean the interim director who just came on to the scene? There are about a thousand improvements vetted under this plan, the bike lanes were one of them, but the people opposed to bike lanes will have managed to kill the whole project by the time the dust settles, because bike lanes are integral to Vision Zero, to the DC Sustainability Plan, the Net Zero plans, the clean air plans and the MoveDC plans. But hey, we need more parking so that will supercede everything else, right? It was only the "Save Connecticut Avenue" people who made it about bike lanes. |
Heh |
Vision Zero is as bad a policy as COVID Zero which destroyed the education of an entire generation. |
The fact that you know the career history of a local government agency history indicates you may need to find another hobby besides biking. |
Yes, we have the "right" to be impatient with someone who is riding their bike 20-25 miles below the speed limit, but somehow is too impatient to ride on a bike path or sidewalk where people are walking only 2-3 mph slower than they are riding. |
Well there's a reason we advocate for bike lanes. Additionally, ct ave ranges from 20-30 mph speed limit and bikers ride ~15mph so how fast are you really going from red light to red light? |
This is about entited white people from Ward 3 trying to commandeer scarce taxpayer dollars to subsidize their hobby. That's it. There's nothing else to it. |
We have more than 150 miles of bike lanes. Seems like more than enough given how few people ride bikes. |
“The inception of the project was a safety project, it has always been a safety project. . . and somehow over the years, it kind of morphed into a bike project” Doh! |
