[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is ironic that one of the businesses on Connecticut in opposition to the bike lanes has an ableist sign in its window.

Ironic how? I don’t think you know what irony means.

The Plaintiffs in question are suing related to the existing 17th street bike lanes being non-compliant with the ADA. The Plaintiffs have been clear that they are not opposed to bike lanes per se but only want DC to follow the law.

Your glib post lacks basic understanding of the lawsuit and the needs of people with disabilities.[/quote]

Oh, they made it clear?

“DDOT has undertaken an aggressive program to provide hundreds of miles of protected bicycle lanes all while ignoring pleas to consider ADA accessibility and equal access for those who move around the District in ways other than by bicycle.”

"We aim to remedy this systemic discrimination by the District against residents as well as visitors with mobility disabilities who are prohibited from moving about this beautiful city with the same freedom and ease as those without disabilities,” says Richard A. Simms, Executive Director, the District of Columbia Center for Independent Living, Inc. (DCCIL)

Yep, sure sounds like its *just* limited to the 17th street bike lane. [/quote]

Yep. This a cheap political stunt masquerading as a lawsuit. It's too bad the local media is not smart enough to see if for what it is.[/quote]
DCCIL is the most prominent disability advocates in the city. You’re really showing your *ss by attacking them and in turn it exposes how deranged you and other cycling advocates are. Please keep doing it! I beg you. [/quote]

It’s a money grab for attorneys fees. If they are teaming up with the likes of that nutcase then they don’t really have much credibility. [/quote]
