[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Connecticut Avenue is already on a diet now that parking is allowed all day, no rush hour restrictions.  That should slow things down the same as bike lanes would.[/quote]
With the safety argument gone and the transportation argument quite dubious seeing that it is a major public transit corridor there is no rationale at all beyond providing an expensive amenity for a couple dozen of wealthy white people in a city where a lot of basic needs are not being met. This is the kind of thing a city does when it has a growing economy and is flush with cash. That is not the DC of 2023 and thankfully Mayor Bowser and the Council understand that very well.[/quote]

DC has the same poverty rate as West Virginia[/quote]
Is West Virginia planning any boondoggle transportation projects that will only benefit a handful of rich people?[/quote]

Exactly. DC has spent billions of dollars on bike lanes. [/quote]
Not sure about billions but certainly more than $100 million over the past decade.[/quote]

This is total nonsense. After repeated requests, someone in the other thread strung together a bunch of projects that allocated funding to a wide range of infra, including road maintenance, and sheepishly tried to claim that the allocations were all for bike lanes. It was patently absurd. If you nothing to contribute other than lies and manipulation, please just be quiet.[/quote]

Bowser's current budget proposal alone has close to $60 million.  $100 million over the past decade is neither absurd nor an exaggeration.  [/quote]
