I do not believe that is when the interviews were. Perhaps the reporter will clarify.

Um, ok.

You are part of the "them". Your travel time is included. Also, how long is your travel time, now that it has doubled?

45 minutes from 20 to drive my kids carpool for soccer practice. I can’t move the practice time or location. I cannot get off of work earlier. I drive 5 kids, so that’s 4 extra cars off the road. And then after I drop off I have to turn around and get right back in that traffic shenanigans for another 45 mins home to feed my other kids, deal with homework, life. So yeah, the double time on both ends is a nightmare. I am raising a family. I am making a living. I am paying my taxes. This has real life implications for us. And no I cannot do carpool on a bike. I am just dumbfounded at the lack of reasonableness, empathy and practicability.

Hey look, a barely readable screed from a guy who doesn't live there and spends most of his time writing stuff like "FREE ROGER STONE." There's no way anything in that could be wrong.

Just like the Velofacists are never wrong. Ever. They know what’s best for Alexandria, even if the majority of Alexandrians voice opposition. Gotcha.

Your travel time used to be 22 minutes but is now 45 minutes - both ways, in the afternoon, due to the Seminary Lane road diet?

If so, yes, that must be a miserable experience, but when you're driving across town in the afternoon peak drive time, then there are going to be a lot of other drivers on the road with you. And the safer and more convenient we make it for people who are not you to get places by walking or biking, the fewer people will be on the road with you in cars when you're in a car.

I agree that you can't do carpool on a bike, but it's definitely possible to get groups of kids places by bike, especially if they themselves are able to bike.

No, 45 min one way. 90 min round trip. What in theory often is not the reality. Do not dismiss is as a one off or try to explain away why the time has doubled, in both directions and why in some la la land imagination this is best for all of us.

Responses like this are precisely why I drift into cyclists paths. I love scaring the shit out of you.

Lots of comments on “Justin’s” traffic jam. And the road diet plainly is not working, and the bike lanes were nothing but another Justin present to 3% of the City’s people, and it all belongs to him. But you could still debate some of the specifics. What you can’t debate is that I’m almost every issue, he has become a dictator, and he has not had the consistent support of his council members and he is aiding battles and not productivity.

No, it's not because of responses like this. It's because you're a person who shouldn't be allowed to drive a two-ton vehicle that can kill people.
