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.

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.

DC does “Potholepalooza” every April. It’s nothing new! (And of course, road maintenance helps bikes too.) I agree that we don’t know what the future DC budget will bring, but it’s likely to reduce spending in ALL areas. Also can we talk about how gross it is for you to gloat about the budget situation and act like it’s some kind of “gotcha” moment?

TBH if we left it up to people like you, DC would have nothing new and good. No redeveloped Navy Yard. 14th St still homeless shelters. No Circulator bus. No festivals with street closures. No Beach Drive closures even on the weekend. What really unites your stance is an extremely rigid neophobia.

The Circulator? Isn't that the bus line that is being cancelled in order to save $7 million? The bus line with a daily user base of over 10x the amount of bicyclists on Connecticut? The bus line that was cancelled because too few people were using it? That bus line? Seems ironic that you should mention it

When is the last time you used a public bus to go somewhere?

Yup. Cancelled the circulator to save $7 million and ironically $7 million has been appropriated for the bike lanes in the CIP. So a perfect example of robbing Peter to pay Paul.

However, there isn’t even a cost estimate for the bike lanes yet. $50 million is probably a good estimate based on preliminary estimates for cost of similar projects in Moco. So there is a $43 million gap, which also ironically is just about what the proposed city wide fare free bus service was estimated to cost.

What else are they going to need to cut and how many people need to be harmed city-wide to make this a reality?

And when is the last time PP supported bus infrastructure like bus lanes and platforms?

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.

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.

What’s even funnier is that the person most responsible for spearheading that change was Frumin, who has been conspicuous by his absence of saying anything about the DDOT plan to delay study for another six months. Not a single other CM has bothered to take up the cause even performatively. Just goes to show how quickly the politics of this issue has shifted. No CMs want to talk about bike lanes and the mayor wants to talk about road maintenance.

He may be a "nice guy" but he knows that his posturing as a left wing doofus was bs and he will revert to the mainstream of what Ward 3 wants.

He’s in a bad place politically because he’s aligned himself with the uber progressive ANCs that push policies that have clearly made Ward 3 less safe. He’s definitely going to get a primary from the center and if he tries to moderate his position he will get a primary from one of the socialists.

He’s certainly alienated businesses by aligning with these clowns. If he doesn’t do something substantive to win them back he’s done.

Ha, I am sure he is quaking in his boots that the owner of a store who lives in Rockville doesn't like him.

Almost every small business from Macomb to Nebraska has signed the petition against the bike lanes.

If so, likely based on false representations.

Every bike lane meeting I watched was stacked with young white men from Shaw and Petworth. Public support for this project among the people who actually live around Connecticut is minimal.

Talking about your overall vision for transit kn DC and competing budget priorities is a very healthy and good thing to do. However, you are engaged in a bad-faith argument that is just part of your paranoid hatred of change. We ALL know you would be freaking out about a bus priority project that removed a traffic lane or any parking. You are a bad-faith, obsessive, rigid, petty liar who gets their rocks off by obstructing people sincerely working to improve DC. Shame.

He's an incumbent D.C. Council member. Odds are he'll be re-elected easily no matter what he says or does.

I’m not so sure about that. His Ward 3 For All plan does not align nicely with the upcoming DCPS boundary update process. He going to have to actually fight for his current constituents. I’m not sure he’s up for this fight. I think he’s the mark in this poker game and the other council members are going to eat his lunch and there will be many unhappy parents.

It is good politics to "align with the clowns"

In the precincts that line Connecticut Avenue, Frumin outpolled Bike Lane opponent Krucoff by more than other precincts around the Ward.

Ergo it is the opponents of the bike lanes who are in the minority, deeply.

DP. Maybe. But I doubt that would mean he loses to a challenger from the right. More likely another progressive who can make the case more persuasively to voters.

This is the problem with trying to make bike lanes into some kind of political litmus test. It just doesn’t work, because normal people do not have the same i investment in being anti-bike as the extremists on here. Nobody except the extremely fixated are single-issue bikelane voters.

[Anonymous]

I would argue that the fact Krucoff lives in Cleveland Park and hit hard on the anti-bike lane issue there and yet did worse than he did in other parts of the Ward is pretty much a strong litmus test.

I think he mistakenly packaged his anti-crime, open-schools stance with being anti-urbanist. at that time a candidate who stood for the improvement of ALL DC quality of life aspects might have been successful. But to the extent candidates adopt an anti-bike POV it seems to be packaged as a conservative dog whistle, not a coherent view about how to improve the city.

Connecticut Avenue is packed with voucher residents that Krukoff wanted to get rid of. With good reason. Of course they were not voting for him.

I love the naïveté of the bike lane fanatics. Believing first that they are actually going to happen and second that the general election was a referendum on policy substance.
