[quote=Anonymous]"Road diet": is a ridiculous concept. Roads were built in the first place to meet a need. That need did not just go away, allowing road capacity to be reduced without affecting road users. Adding additional pedestrian/bicycle/scooter capacity is one thing, but it's destructive if done by eliminating existing road capacity at the expense of existing road users who don't/can't use those alternative modes of transportation. Wishful thinking about green and healthy bicycling doesn't magically create thousands of new daily bicycle riders who happily abandon cars for bicycles for long commutes in bad weather, wearing business attire.
