[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Not to mention that bike lanes on Connecticut Avenue would INCREASE the carrying capacity of Connecticut Avenue.“

This is mendacious spin at a truly Trumpy tier.[/quote]

Single occupancy vehicles are the least efficient method of getting people from one place to another. Mass transit and bikes are many times more efficient. So if planners and engineers redesign roads to priorities mass transit and bikes over cars, then by definition, the carrying capacity will increase.

Denying that is actually Trumpian.[/quote]

Except very few people actually bike. [b]And cars are incredibly efficient at getting people from A to B quickly.[/b][/quote]

Yes, places like Montana, cars are incredibly efficient at getting people from A to B quickly. In dense cities, like DC, they are not efficient.

Also, lots of people actually bike, and even more would bike if they had safe, comfortable, connected, convenient routes to get where they're going.[/quote]

Both statements are false. On the first, it could be true if DC actually had good public transit, but metro sucks and the bus network is meh. On the second, we’ve been through this already on this thread, [b]all evidence points to bikers as a single digit percentage of commuters[/b] and possibly as low as 3 percent. Not “lots of people.”[/quote]

You AGAIN repeat this, and yet ignore that the measure of "commuters" is for people who are going from a point "out there" to downtown and not a measure of people biking in general.[/quote]
