[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most recent available Census ACS data (2019) shows the following stats on commuting by DC residents
127k drive alone
21k carpool or vanpool
133k take mass transit
51k walk
25k ride bikes, motorcycles, or take taxi
28k worked from home

Fewer should be driving alone, more should be taking mass transit and other methods.

As indicated by this data, it would not even be justifiable if these were combined bicycle, motorcycle and taxi lanes. But they are solely bike lanes, [/quote]

Wait, you don't think devoting any space at all to something used by 25,000 people would be justified? How's that? By your standard, should we also rip out the sidewalks, since only 51,000 people walk to work, which is clearly not as many as drive, carpool, or mass transit?[/quote]
Okay so DC should also have dedicated and protected carpool lanes on major roads that only carpools can use and no other road users can access. Seems fair right? There are way more carpoolers than bicycle commuters after all. [/quote]

Carpool lanes would be cool. Maybe combined with a bus lane on 16th st.  But you all would cheat anyway.[/quote]
Nope. Cannot be combined. No one else can use it. Dedicated and protected carpool lane only. [/quote]
