Someone make a meme where drivers and cyclists fight while a walker just looks depressed. [/quote]

Yup - two different independent studies of Cleveland Park found that only 10% of customers were arriving by car - both studies found 80% of customers were arriving on foot.

In fairness bike lanes really do benefit pedestrians by getting bikes (and scooters) off of sidewalks.[/quote]

1.  According to official data there's nowhere near enough bicyclists for there to be any benefit to pedestrians.  Perhaps in other parts of town there is but not there.

2.  The level of disingenuity in that "survey" is off the charts.  Most customers arrive by walking from their car parked in the neighborhood.  Under the metrics of those "surveys" those people are included in the 80%.  People only count as arriving by car in that survey if they parked directly on Connecticut in front of the business they were patronizing.[/quote]

Haha is this true? What a joke! Only like four cars parked at a time in front of a business.  Of course everyone else ‘walks’.  [/quote]

Drivers won't visit a business unless they can park within 6 feet of the entrance, this is known. [/quote]
