[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the argument that protected bike lanes destroy commerce, or all bike lanes? Because there are almost no protected bike lanes downtown, except on 15th street and Pennsylvania Avenue (which never had any commerce anyway, it’s almost all federal offices). There are plenty of non-protected bike lanes downtown, most of which predated the pandemic, and also a lot of those near Navy Yard, which also predated the pandemic and which certainly don’t appear to have prevented massive amounts of development near there.

Seems pretty obvious that the existence of a bike lane does not, in and of itself, make it so no one wants to go to a given neighborhood. [/quote]

I don't get the hullabaloo about bike lanes and I don't even bike. If bike lanes separate bicyclists from my car, good. Just seems like some small group of cranky people who hate any change ever. [/quote]

No one cares about bike lanes.  They do little either way themselves.  In this case the context is about eliminating car lanes.  [/quote]
