[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Finally. Having bike lanes on a major artery is insanity.[/quote]

So the rest of the major cities around the world are insane. mmmmokay.

:roll:[/quote]

You’re claiming all other major cities around the world have bike lanes on major roads? Interesting.[/quote]

Paris is building a lot of bike infrastructure. Many less car-centric cities are already more bike and ped friendly.[/quote]
Since Paris embarked on this journey, its population has declined from all time highs to the lowest level since the 19th century. Turns out that if you intentionally make it harder for people to get around, eg “traffic calming” and “slow streets”, it makes people’s lives miserable enough to leave in large numbers. Maybe that’s the goal? I don’t know. [/quote]

Paris Metropopulation:

1850 ~1.5 million
1950 ~6 million
2023 ~11+ million [/quote]
Please don’t waste peoples time. Unless you think population changes in Loudon and Frederick counties are relevant to DC proper. [/quote]

If they had the transit connections of metropolitan Paris then yes they would be relevant.[/quote]
LOL. The high growth areas of suburban Paris look just like suburbs in the US. Nice way to show your ignorance.

Paris city population
2014: 2.3 million (Anne Hidalgo elected)
2022: 2.1 million[/quote]

I am so excited for the 124 new miles of Grand DC Express Metro to open in 2024! Wait, what?[/quote]
Are those bike lanes? Then what’s your point? Where the bike lanes have gone in, the population has gone down.

DC population 
2015: 677k (Bowser elected)
2022: 671k[/quote]

It's obviously a direct consequence of the bike lanes, but then again, anything bad that happens is, so that's no surprise. In fact, bike lanes probably caused the covid pandemic.[/quote]
