[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now the bike lobby has to reckon with the DC Police Union, which is officially on record as opposing Connecticut Ave bike lanes as worsening traffic congestion and making conditions less safe.[/quote]

The police are traffic engineers now?[/quote]

Right?  What do the police know about public safety.   [/quote]

Given that we have more police per capita for any major city and a crime wave not replicated in other cities, we can safely conclude that they don't know much. [/quote]

This is clearly a difficult day for you.  [/quote]

With DC facing a hemorrhaging revenue situation, residents feeling that DC elected officials need to prioritize reducing crime asap and improving failing schools over other projects, and now with MPD officers opposed, Conn Ave bike lanes just aren't going to happen.  At least not in this decade, if ever.[/quote]

I agree, there is a lot of really bad crime going on in DC right now. So glad the union is focused on the important work of complaining about Charles Allen on Twitter and writing letters to CMs about bike lanes.[/quote]
