[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plenty of posters on this thread and similar threads hate written that if the bike lanes lead to more traffic congestion and gridlock on Connecticut Ave, that’s a good thing.  They’ve even argued that choking side streets with diverted traffic will make them “safer.”[/quote]

The fact is, the city is going to out Connecticut Avenue on a road diet.

The narrowed solution will either be with parking lanes 24/7 on each side of the street, with two lanes for cars, or, it will have 5 lanes for cars and one, split each way, for bikes.[/quote]

And of those are the only two choices then I vote for parking.

It will benefit more people, be better for businesses along the corridor, provide more future flexibility, increase safety, and reduce the harm inflicted on the surrounding neighborhoods.

It will also really piss the bikebros off which is something I am now wholeheartedly in favor of because of all of you posters lying all the freaking time.[/quote]
