Closing major roads to cars just forces traffic onto smaller roads that were never designed for it

This has been proven to be false, time after time after time.

Cite one, single DDOT study from the last 10 years that supports your claim.* All of us who live in the neighborhoods east and west of RCP in the District will be very excited to review this data that we heretofore have never had access to.

Cite one study of where it did happen.

Have you ever lived near a street that’s suddenly been closed? The traffic doesn’t just magically disappear into thin air. It just goes around.

You might want to show up at Beach Drive one day and tell all the black people biking, running, and walking that they are being oppressed.

Cyclists are almost 100 percent white: drivers here are disproportionately black.

People don’t spend $40,000 on a car and then sudddnly decide to give up on driving because the city closed a street.

No, that's not a study. That's anecdote.

People on bikes are apparently even more invisible when they're black. Go figure.

It’s worse than that. It’s 100 white guys from Ward 3 telling hundreds of thousands of black and brown people in PG and Montgomery counties who need to go to work to support their families that they can’t use their roads.

Do you think it’s also some unknowable mystery what happens to the water when you dam up a river?

We don’t need to wait around for some dipshit with a degree in sociology from garbage state university to render his opinion in order to understand commonplace phenomena.

You don't get out much if you actually believe this.

Please cite literally any source for those claims. I'd be especially surprised if drivers in Ward 3 near Beach Drive are disproportionately black.

I wonder whether you are so full of hatred and contempt for people in real life, or whether it's just something you do when you're anonymous on the internet.

Keep Beach drive closed! No road subsidies for crazy speeding MD commuters until they pay DC taxes!! We don't want any more traffic violence from MD!
