[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

It isn't the government's job to facilitate people storing their cars in public space. If people own cars, they should pay to store them, or actually use their driveways and garages.

Only density bros and bike bros call parking “car storage.”[/quote]

Regardless of what you want to call it, car parking objectively is car storage. Your car has to be somewhere while you're not driving it. Whose responsibility is it to figure out where your car will be while you're not driving it? And when is it appropriate to leave your private stuff on public property?[/quote]

Those scooter and e-bike companies “store” their equipment on public property all the time.  And not just on streets, but by blocking sidewalks and handicapped ramps, crushing tree roots and plants in tree boxes, etc.
