[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]

Bicycles are literally single occupancy vehicles[/quote]

Yes they are, generally, unless they have kid seats, or the little kid extensions or it is a bicycle built for two.

But, they also take up a fraction of the space, they don't cause environmental harm and they provide health benefits to the person riding it, which helps ease the broader impact on the healthcare system.

They are also, then, not competing for a parking spot or, if there are bike lanes, taking up space on the driving lanes.[/quote]
