[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The City Council voted 4-3, even over the advice of their own Transportation Board and the objections of many residents, to administer the road diet on Seminary and take away two lanes of traffic for the bike lobby.  Justin Wilson is oddly quiet on the matter online.  I am so done with the city caving to the Bike Lobby giving them whatever they want.  [/quote]

HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The safety of people traveling by bicycle [b]outweighs the convenience of people traveling by car. [/b]And when you're traveling by car and you're stuck in traffic, it's not because of people traveling by bicycle - it's because of all of the other people traveling by car.

Also, although you can buy T-shirts that say "Bicycle Lobby," there isn't actually a bicycle lobby.

Actually this will improve convenience for some drivers - notably those who live ON that part of Seminary Road, and those acccessing it from non signalized intersections, who will be able to turn on to the road more easily. Plus it will improve safety for other drivers, and also for walkers.

And the account that prints the t shirts is essentially a joke.  [/quote]

It isn't essentially a joke - it is ACTUALLY a joke.:-) But the T-shirts are real.[/quote]

Occasionally some of their tweets are actually seriously on point,  but yeah. [/quote]
