[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Warning: Alexandria hates cars and loves any initiative that in theory or name only will strong arm people into being frustrated with driving, give up and use scooters or bikes.

They love road diets, bike lanes, revamping traffic light signal timings, needlessly remove traffic circles, 15-25 mph limits, anything BOAC wants,  closing certain streets, etc., all
in the name of “vision zero” and “safe streets”. It doesn’t matter if they actually work, and some examples have been around long enough to know if they’ve worked (how many people you see using the King Street bike lane) , they will stick by anything they have decided with sheer force of will and cram it down your throat.

I’ve lived here 20+ years and used to commute everyday on the metro. I walk to my destination whenever I can. I enjoy the environment, would love to get more cars off the road. But I haven’t found these theories of road diets force and manipulate driver behavior with psychological warfare with any positive results. None. People are married to Waze and their cars. It sucks but it’s reality. I can’t believe Wilson once again says they’re purposefully going to have almost zero parking to force people to find another way to get there. People will end up parking in Del Ray, maybe even Rosemont or Arlandria and walk.

I am really worried about this.[/quote]

Grow up PP.  She is right; our efforts to get people out of their cars are not working. [/quote]
