[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think everyone is losing sight of what are the two options:

1.  Some bike lanes or
2.  Parking 24/7 on CT Avenue with no restrictions vs. rush hour restrictions right now.

In both options, you will have the same traffic problems with delivery trucks now idling in one of the 4 lanes of traffic.

Yes, in option #2 you may have traffic issues only 80% of the time vs. Option #1...but they both stink.

BTW...both of these options are designed to make your car commute miserable so that perhaps you won't make it at all or take metro or something.  That is the goal.

Option 2 provides more parking for residents. Not sure why the priority should be to inconvenience residents so that non-resident cyclists can get through their neighborhood faster. [/quote]

Parking, especially unmetered/residential, on CT is a terrible use of space. All of the space should be used to move people. The question should be how to allocate that space between different modes. [/quote]
