[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Connecticut Ave needs 1 lane each way for cars, 1 lane each way for buses, and 1 lane each way for cyclists. Anything more than that creates the “traffic” that people hate[/quote]

Um, there's only 2 dozen cyclists, 1 bus line that they want to cut, and 30,000 drivers.[/quote]

It's laughable that you continue to assert 2 dozen cyclists as a fact [/quote]

Do you have an alternative number?  If so, what is it?[/quote]

Capital bike share is reporting over 500,000 rides per month. That's either a lot more than 24 bikers, or perhaps you think that they're each going on ~22,000 trips/month.

and that's just rented bikes. So I think we can safely agree that the numbers you used are misinformation and you're okay with me reporting it as such every time you post it going forward

On Connecticut not the entire city.

Ok Karen[/quote]

Even if I stipulated that only 1% of the 6million (500k x 12) rented bike rides were on CT ave, one of the biggest connecting roads in the city, that is 60,000 rides of rented bikes.

My name isn't Karen but I'm sorry you didn't have anything funnier to try [/quote]
DDOT has actual data. It’s dozens. But I enjoy your fake data. [/quote]
