For some reason people think replacing POV traffic, which has the highest fatality rate, with bus traffic, which has one of the lowest fatality rates, will somehow lead to an increase in fatalities because drivers will seek out kids on side-streets to run over in their rage and this is a good reason to maintain the status quo.

Except you're not actually replacing it and nobody "seeks out kids on side streets to run over in their rage".

I would have thought by now that you would have realized that your constant lies and attempts at demonization have backfired. But I guess not.

Eh. You're the one who's demonizing drivers, by asserting that they will drive dangerously through side streets and kill children.

You can tell the people in favor of this plan do not really care about safety, and that this plan is really just about spiting drivers, because this plan will *obviously* put a lot of children in danger by redirecting traffic from Georgia Avenue to the quiet streets of Ward 4, and advocates of this absurd plan are suddenly trivializing people's concerns about safety.

Let's face it. They wouldn't mind if some kids get killed. They'll just use that to further their arguments to clamp down on driving.

That’s a despicable thing to write.

Have you not been reading this thread? Some of the folks here will be doing cartwheels when this DDOT proposal inevitably gets children killed.

Your presumptions are so idiotic that I don’t know where to start.

Please show up to a public meeting and tell everyone that advocates of bus lanes celebrate the deaths of children.

Also give us a heads up where and when you plan to do this so that we can bear witness to what subsequently unfolds

There's lots of posters here saying if they don't want their kids killed as a result of this plan, then we have to agree to their plans to cripple traffic on every street surrounding Georgia Avenue. Sounds like you idiots are taking children hostage.

That's a real nice kid you got there. Be a shame if anything happened...
