[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Let's have both" usually means "let's give lip service to one while completely ignoring it and pushing for our pet project." No one is serious if they're going to pretend that space isn't limited, or if they pretend that no lanes are going to be preserved for cars, trucks, and vans.

Compare the map of D.C. dedicated bike lanes:

To the map of dedicated D.C. bus lanes:

As mentioned, right now there's a push for bike lanes on Connecticut, not bus lanes. As the data above shows, bike commuters are a small segment of the population, but they often are wealthier and have an outsized voice compared to bus commuters, who are much more numerous but tend to be poorer.[/quote]

No, let's have both means let's have both. Nobody is stopping you from pushing for bus lanes on Connecticut Avenue. There is plenty of room on Connecticut Avenue for both bus lanes AND bike lanes - unless your priority is preserving space on Connecticut Avenue for cars.[/quote]
