Seems like you're the one who's refusing to surrender when you've already lost, though.

Nice to know you think this is a game. But if you’re keeping score, what have you accomplished exactly? Seriously.

Did you notice how quickly the city was able to implement the end of rush hour parking restrictions without needing an extra 6 months of “study”.

If you don’t know how this thing is going to play out, then you’re quite naive.

It was your metaphor.

You can stomp your feet anonymously on DCUM all you want and tell us we all know what will happen. Your crystal ball is just as reliable as anybody else's. Only time will tell. If it makes you feel better to insist that the bike lanes won't be built, that's worth something for you.

DP. The bike lanes are happening. You can continue to whine about it if you like, but the only thing you're accomplishing is looking childish.

please refer to the DDOT studies that are publicly available and widely shared.

Oh, you would rather just raise disengenuous arguments one after another in the absence of facts?

that’s what I thought.

Why are you all always so unwilling to answer the simple questions?

Brah. The link has been posted ONE ZILLION TIMES. Not doing your work for you.

Ah yes, of course. The DDOT study says the traffic will be diverted onto the side streets mentioned and nonsensically claims a 1000% increase in bike use to reduce the numbers. It also claimed a substantial amount of diverted traffic will drive halfway around the beltway to GW Parkway.

If you've already read the study, then you know the answer. The only remaining problem is that you don't like the answer. Nobody can solve that problem for you.

No, my problem is that it's a bad idea to do what it says it's going to do.

Right. Your problem is that you don't want bike lanes on Connecticut Avenue.

Yes, it's a bad idea. It is a waste of public money because there is no demand. It exacerbates preexisting parking problems. It reduces traffic capacity by 33%. It harms local businesses. It increases congestion and pollition. It decreases safety by diverting thousands of cars onto the side streets where children play and the schools are located. And it's being partially paid for by reducing public transit.

You just keep repeating yourself. Yes, you think it's a bad idea. It's going to happen anyway.

Is it? Why do you say that?

As far as I can tell, Bowser is embarrassed by the Advisory Neighborhood Cylists and trying to create some distance in the hope that they'll behave and the fuss will die down. A lot can happen in six months and the budget situation next year will be even worse.

That’s what’s funny and these boneheads don’t understand. The delay has pushed contract award to FY25, which is exactly when DC is expected to hit the budget cliff, which is when the city is going to have to come up with tens of millions after being unable to find tens of millions to pay for bus service and cutting social services. This thing was 50/50 not gonna happen in January when DDOT announced delays. Now it’s hanging on by the slim hope that a miracle happens and DC wins the Powerball or something.

There is no need for a crystal ball when we have ongoing budget hearings as a guide.

I would also like to point out that just this week Bowser and Lott did a big press conference with a lot of publicity about road maintenance - for cars. Bike lanes seem to be rapidly falling down the list of priorities.

Please do continue living in your fantasy world, I’m having fun laughing at you.

Your false confidence and bravado is fantastic.

DC just gave people more street parking full time on Connecticut Ave. they aren’t going to take that away for bike lanes. Y’all make me laugh. Not clear if you’re mendacious or naive but either way it’s very funny.

It’s just funny to me that you’re out here arguing to the death over something that you have zero control over and is not even going to happen. Your words have no meaning or consequence. Just wasted electrons contributing to climate change. You are definitely obsessed and I’m having a good time making fun of you over it.

OMG! These people are never going to live that photo down. Even more incredible that the city is now NOT doing bike lanes. How humiliating.
