[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They practically run the council or damn near close to it! We don't need more bike lanes, we need more ENFORCEMENT of existing laws and infrastructure. [/quote]

Ruined Wesley Heights - New Mexico avenue lost all of its parking- street looks ugly with barriers all the way down the street and I have seen at least 5 cyclists not using the bike lane - they were still driving in the car lane [/quote]

Ummm no New Mexico Avenue has not lost all of its parking - parking was only removed on the west side of New Mexico.

In total the parking utilization rate along the corridor is only 20% and almost all of that is in two locations - for long stretches of the road there historically have been few if any cars parked on New Mexico.

And the two commercial buildings in Foxhall Square have an absolutely massive and lightly used parking garage in the back.

And the comment that you have seen cyclists not using the lane is just stupid - the lane is not even fully installed yet nor is it signed or striped.[/quote]
