[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bike lobby is seeking to defund DDOT’s new plan for Connecticut Ave.  So maybe there will be no changes in the end.[/quote]

It is awn awful plan that uses little of modern transportation planning tactics. Even the folks at DDOT don't want to do this, so the proposed plan is likely not to happen at all. The status quo is literally better than what DDOT has planned.[/quote]
Parents that walk their kids to school at Murch feel differently. The proposed bump outs will improve crossing for pedestrians, particularly school kids, but cyclists dgaf about pedestrians so that explains your nihilistic attitude. [/quote]

If the plan were truly about safety, there would also be protected bike lanes, because protected bike lanes have been proven to make streets safer for everyone.[/quote]
That’s false and doesn’t make any sense. A bump out is safer for pedestrians for crossing a street than having to frogger across a bike lane before crossing the street. [/quote]

It's true, and it's accurate, regardless of whether or not you think it makes sense.[/quote]
