My name is not Nick, I’m a cyclist and I think it makes more sense to put bike lanes where there is the most population density and where there is the highest deaths due to traffic violence. To argue otherwise seems like whack job type stuff to me. [/quote]

Again, what’s wrong with Metro train and metro bus that we’ve collectively paid $10 billion for and has an annual operating budget of $2+ billion?  You can put your little bike right on the front.  [/quote]

And you can put your little self inside the bus instead of inside a car.  Easy-peasy.  [/quote]

My car will not kill businesses that we all depend on for services and the city needs for its tax base.  One 30 year CT Ave business owner said last week the bike lanes would kill his business so he is not renewing his lease.  Others will follow.  He literally cited the bike lanes.  And the bikers laughed at him. Here’s the thing, most reasonable people in Ward 3 are going to take the word of a small business job creator over the word of a bike riding non profit worker with a worthless college degree that contributes nothing to the community other than some annual report that nobody ever reads.

The way businesses in Cleveland Park have been going lately, it sort of seems hard to put ALL the blame on the bike lanes, which aren't even there yet. Who is this business owner, anyway? He's been cited a lot in this thread, but which business is it?[/quote]
