[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I strongly support metro and use it to commute.

The problem with bike and bus lanes is taking away lanes from already congested streets. People are still going to drive. We need solutions that are less zero-sum.[/quote]

Encouraging an ever growing region to have more people driving, when there is zero chance of additional road capacity is a losing proposition.[/quote]

Nobody has talked about expanding Connecricut Avenue.  It is stupid irrelevant rhetorical strawman to try and create a false binary.

The bullcrap like this is one of the main reasons I am opposed to the bike lanes.  Glomming onto buses and pedestrians makes it worse.[/quote]

Of course not, but yet the region will continue to grow, and there will be ever more people with cars wanting to drive in. How do you accommodate those people without expanding the number of lanes?

You don't, you figure out other ways of getting people out of cars and on to bikes or buses so the people who need to drive, can.[/quote]
The answer is mass transit. The answer is always mass transit. [/quote]
