[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously, I can't handle more bike lanes.  Especially now that I'm about to get rezoned from a school 3 blocks away to one that's nearly a mile.  Starting in 2015 when our kid starts K, we will be forced to drive rather than metro.  Bike lanes so more idiotic bikers can take up road space and driving traffic can get more congested just seems like a good way to add to the clusterf*ck that DME is creating. [/quote]

Bike lanes [url=http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/bike-lanes-dont-cause-traffic-jams-if-youre-smart-about-where-you-build-them/]don't actually cause traffic congestion to get any worse[/url].[/quote]

Not true. No one can make a blanket statement about the implications of bike lanes. I'd agree that some likely haven't impacted traffic, but others certainly have. When bike lanes went in on Sherman Ave and 11th Street, it resulted in both streets going from two lanes to one at key points. The traffic down Sherman and around 11th and Mass are pretty terrible now. [/quote]
