[b]They had traffic calming on Arlington in the plan [/b]and it was removed and not a single cyclist or “urbanist” or GGW weirdo said a thing. But they absolutely love the streetery and cycle path on Woodmont. It pretty clear that there is a level of selfishness and lack of caring for the impacts/externalities of the things these people promote that pervades these communities. Parents in MCCPTA have been trying to get traction on real implementation of Safe Routes to School for years. However, there has been zero support from the cyclists and “urbanists”. The only thing they have cared about in that time are cycle tracks in Woodmont, a tunnel under Wisconsin, posting legal speed limits on the CCT and a recumbent biker who got himself killed at Little Falls Parkway by not following the law. So don’t claim that you guys have some sort of broader societal interest. It’s self interest all the way done and sometimes quite damaging to others and you don’t care. So don’t pretend to now.

"They" who what when? Which plan?

Plenty of people have been advocating for traffic calming on Arlington, for years now.

Ned Gaylin did not "get himself killed". That's despicable.[/quote]
Since you don’t know the plan, then you clearly have not been engaged in this topic. Who are these “many people” you speak of among the cyclists? Name them. They don’t exist.

And since you want to derail this topic about the recumbent cyclists, the police investigation included that he shot out into traffic without taking due care. His own negligence got him killed similar to people that cross Georgia Avenue mid-block instead of using signalized crossings.

The problem with Arlington is that even the signalized crossings are unsafe because they don’t give enough time to cross, particularly little kids. It’s frankly despicable that you are pretending that you care or that this is an important issue for you. Because it is not and has not been and the record is clear. Cyclists are as a whole a very selfish group.

You talk about safely biking to BCC, but you have never out to the MCCPTA who have been working on Safe Routes to Schools for a long time. Why is that? I think you are FOS. You can try to retcon your activism as much as you want, but the people who have worked on the ground to make it safe for kids know the truth. [/quote]

I seriously wonder who you think you're talking to.[/quote]
Okay, who are you?[/quote]
I’m also still waiting for you to identify the cyclists you claim have been involved in traffic safety on Arlington for a long time. They don’t exist.

You are clearly someone that likes to make stuff up. So keep at it. Why don’t you admit that you have no idea what’s going on this topic? [/quote]
Crickets. I think the PP is doing some *research* aka Googling. [/quote]
