Not wetlands, not some overgrown stream, not an infill housing site that won’t appreciable add to runoff in the area (and is the city’s responsibility and interest anyway). And certainly not the other stupid priorities of the city, from a bike lane no one uses (and I’m an avid cyclist), to hitting a useless racial equality officer.[/quote]

People who describe themselves as "avid cyclists" generally do oppose bike infrastructure. It's a weird phenomenon.[/quote]

I ride daily and I’m 100% opposed to bike lanes. [/quote]

Seconded. Or third. Most urban planning or transportation BS would be solved if people actually used what they preech. You don’t use a particular bike lane? Why is that? Oh you don’t ride at all. Then why are we catering to you? You just said you won’t use it either way.[/quote]

I don't drive on most streets, so why did we build them?

I do agree that if engineers had to actually bike on the unconnected, unsafe "bike lanes" they build, they would stop building them that way. People who aren't John Forester will use bike lanes that are safe and comfortable; people won't use bike lanes that are dangerous and don't connect anywhere.[/quote]

Because essential goods are carried by vehicle, not bike. Same with essential services. When was the last time you saw firemen arrive on scene on 10 speeds?[/quote]
