[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The entire Metropolitan DC Local Politics forum is a handful of cranky rich NW republican bike haters who don't represent the will or majority opinion of the people of DC whatsoever.

They only post here because they have no outlet and are constantly frustrated that the will of the majority goes against what they want. They can just move, they are rich enough to easily.[/quote]

Wanting disabled to be able to access their community without risking being run over is not solely a republican desire.  I'm as liberal as they come, and somehow still value my loved ones safety.  [/quote]

And wanting to be able to navigate the city safely without a car is not a desire exclusive to "bike bros" or whatever is the pejorative-du-DCUM-jour.

As much as NDD and others love to project, "bike lanes" aren't just for bikes and are every bit as useful for electric-powered wheelchairs or other wheel-based mobility aids.

There are also very clear guidelines - referenced on page 3 of this thread - of how "bike lanes" can be designed to be fully compliant with the ADA and enable disabled people to alight from their vehicles and reach the curb without conflicting with passing micro-mobility devices.

In all seriousness, the NW NIMBY playbook is so very tired at this point and trying to exploit the concerns of disabled people and play on racial politics to mask their own crazed obsession with RPP privileges is as pathetic as it gets.  [/quote]

Bikers are almost entirely white. The disabled people whose lives are being put at risk as mostly black. But, sure, "racial politics." [/quote]

Bikers in Ward 3 are almost entirely white. That is because Ward 3 is almost entirely white. If you get out of your Ward 3 bubble, you will see cyclists of all shapes and colors. Imagine that.[/quote]
