Thanks bikebros!  [/quote]

1) that has nothing to do with 'bikebros'
2) if you go back and watch the June 3 DDOT presentation, they specifically said they do not consider Conn Ave a priority bus corridor because of the metrorail.

But please go on with you weird bike hate.[/quote]

It has everything to do with bikebros.  You've taken your eyes off of what matters in the pursuit of something that will do nothing to improve people's lives.  Your exagerated bs of bike lanes being the solution to every single problem in the world has bled into real transportation issues.  All those kids you claim to want to help just got screwed over bog time.

As we have told you all repeatedly, only half of Connecticut has metrorail service.  Metro switches to Wisconsin at Van Ness.  The most dangerous secrion is between Military and Nebraska on Connecticut.  The most congested intersection is Nebraska and Connecticut.  The highest volume of use on Connecticut is between Military and Nebraska. Guess what routes are getting cut.  Guess where the schools are located.

But please go on destroying our entire local transportation network with your virtue signaling in areas you don't live in.  Actually, please don't.  We really need our ever dwindling buses.[/quote]

WTF are you talking about?  Cyclists don't dislike buses. We often use the buses and we're just as pissed off by the suburban-funding induced problems with WMATA and the dc-funding cuts for the Circulator as any one else in the city.  Get real.[/quote]

shhh nobody tell him that the bike bros are bus bros[/quote]

None of you give a damn about buses.  When push comes to shove it's always bike lanes over everything else.  See K Street.  See Connecticut. [/quote]

The thing in common is Bowser pulling some last minute change-a-roo. Bike/Bus > motor vechicle is good by me any day of the week.  K st plan lost more than just the bike lane, was also losing space allocation to pedestrians and bus transit users so that a third car lane and parking lane could be added on one side and a parking lane on the other side.  So no, it was opposed for the same reason as Conn Ave - prioritizing cars and single occupancy vehicle usage over people.[/quote]

I agree, we should not care about single occupancy vehicles.  Especially when there's only 30 of them.[/quote]
