[quote=Anonymous]The assumption in this post is flawed: that people are anti-bike and anti-bus. First, few people are "anti-bike." They just don't think putting two bike lanes down Connecticut Avenue is the best use of resources given the other competing needs in a finite space. That leads to the second point. If Connecticut is to be redesigned, it would be a far better tradeoff to have dedicated bus lanes than bike lanes. Frequent, fast bus service is a more efficient user of a scarce resource -- lane capacity -- than bike lanes. It is the only option that has the potential to meaningfully reduce private car trips. And bus lanes would enhance a transit option that is inclusive: for senior citizens, the less-mobile, people on fixed incomes who don't have a car, etc.[/quote]
