[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nah. This time, we're awake. "We" being the overwhelming majority of affected persons who oppose any bike lanes whatsoever on Connecticut. And we will prevail, again, in shutting this shit down.

-- District resident, not a "Maryland commuter"

You calling yourself an “overwhelming majority” does not make you an overwhelming majority.

And those whose route from their house to Connecticut Avenue necessarily involves driving on a road in Maryland are, in fact, Maryland commuters.[/quote]

Different poster. This insistence that anyone who opposes the bike lanes is a MD commuter is going to do you in. There is strong opposition within the neighborhoods along Connecticut. Stop with the fallacy that the opposition is Maryland commuter-based. [/quote]

It is hard to know how much opposition there really is.
E 
example: 
-ANCs voted to support the bike lanes with one absention and one opposed across 3 commission
-All of the democrats running for ward 3 to replace Cheh supported the bike lanes
-The petition to support bike lanes (live for 2 weeks now) lapped the opposition petiition that it took 2+ years to gather.

Sure, there are people opposed to the bike lanes, but it is no where near the majority.[/quote]

Right. But the people opposed to the bike lanes don’t have a government funded advocacy group and a “nonprofit” carrying their water either.  [/quote]

The people in favor of the bike lanes are your neighbors and even some of your friends. There are just more of them.[/quote]
