[quote=Anonymous][+quote=Anonymous] Are bike lanes good for economic development or not? If they are good (and good for transportation too) then why isn’t Bowser talking about more bike lanes for economic development downtown? You refuse to address that question. [/quote] DP. Good bike lanes are good for transportation. Notwithstanding dire warnings that bike lanes kill business, good bike lanes also have the additional benefit of increasing spending at retail places on streets that have good bike lanes. People on bikes are more likely to stop and shop along the way than people in cars. But bike lanes are a transportation policy, not an economic development policy. So, why isn't Mayor Bowser talking about bike lanes as an economic development policy? Because bike lanes are not an economic development policy, they are a transportation policy. And also because she really isn't big on bike lanes. DDOT has been doing quite a bit, but they would be doing a lot more, if she were. [/quote]
