[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting.

DDOT said the configuration:

-will not impede emergency vehicles
-will not be an issue as an evacuation route
-will not impact "cut through" traffic

So basically everything the project opponents claimed was a lie. They just didn't want bike lanes, even if the proposed solution is worse, which it is.

I guess that is a win?[/quote]

The evacuation route is particularly egregious. Nothing like putting a few hundred multi-ton obstacles on an evacuation route. If we're serious about Connecticut being an evacuation route, then there should be no parking. [/quote]

I was thinking this yesterday, while stuck in my car (by myself) amidst lots of other cars (almost all of which also only had one occupant), and meanwhile people who were walking or bicycling or scootering were getting where they were going faster than me in my car. Just plain basic physics says that cars are a terrible way for lots of people to go the same place at the same time.[/quote]
