[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]

But we've had to use Connecticut as an evacuation route, what, once in the last 50 years, on 9/11? Sort of feels like a relatively unimportant feature of the road. (Though, that's easy for me to say, I could just walk home from downtown if I had to; it's about six miles, easily manageable if I had no alternative... and I also stayed at my office downtown on 9/11 rather than evacuate anyway.)[/quote]
