[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure why the snark is so strong on this post. NYC has already closed some (not all, SOME) roads to cars, so that people can get fresh air without being on top of each other. It’s a good idea. There’s far less traffic these days than usual.[/quote]

You're right, PP.  I live near AU.  Given the dramatic reduction in car traffic, why not close the residential side streets.  It wouldn't be that difficult to stick to to Mass, Van Ness, Nebraska, etc. when driving.  (Unless, of course, you park on those residential side streets cause you live there.)

I love this completely one-sided argument. Why is a lack of traffic an argument for expanding bike lanes? Is the reverse also true? Is the fact that hardly anyone even uses our bike lanes (even before coronavirus) an argument for expanding access for cars?[/quote]

The poster I responded to proposed closing the streets to cars so that pedestrians could walk in the streets without coming withing 6 feet of each other.  The bike lane folks hijacked the thread, but I ignored them.[/quote]
