[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A poll being taken now on whether residents want to keep the changes or go back to the way it was

Almost 2 to 1 in favor of returning it to its previous state.

How will Justin try and explain that?[/quote]

Oh yes, the well-known accuracy of on-line clickbait polls.[/quote]

Youre right. The complete absence of any actual bikes using the lanes, the 1000+ neighbors opposed to the configuration, the Fire Chief being told (privately) to shut up and say the road is fine, the multiple DASH bus drivers telling people how horrible it is, the many doctors and nurses at the Hospital bemoaning the traffic, etc

It's all just imagination. The votes to return the road must be a conspiracy![/quote]

The actual data...

[i]During the evening rush, the peak travel period has been 5:15 PM to 5:30 PM. Prior to the change, the average travel time from the intersection of Quaker Lane and Seminary Road to Jordan Street and Seminary Road was 3.5 minutes. In November, after the changes were implemented, we saw a 40% increase in this travel time, with an average of 4.9 minutes. In December (excluding holidays and days when school is not in session), the average travel time was down to 3.9 minutes, an increase of 24 seconds from before the changes.

During the morning rush, the peak travel period has been 8:15 AM to 8:30 AM. Prior to the change, the average travel time from the intersection of Quaker Lane and Seminary Road to Jordan Street and Seminary Road was 3.6 minutes. In November, after the changes were implemented, we saw a 98% increase in this travel time, with an average of 7.1 minutes. In December (excluding holidays and days when school is not in session), the average travel time was down to 4.7 minutes, an increase of a bit over a minute from before the changes.[/i]

You're complaining about literally a minute or two.[/quote]
