[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“It got a sticker plastered on its windshield (beginning of pandemic) that said "Roads were not built for cars".

Nor were roads built for those eff-ing little electric scooters.  Idiots who have apparently never used such a thing can’t (or won’t) control them on sidewalks where pedestrians are riding and then they also ride them on roads, darting and weaving, with the driver helmet-less and oblivious to warning sounds because he’s wearing earbuds..  Then the myopic little twits just drop them, blocking the sidewalk, even a crosswalk ramp, or someone’s driveway, or they plant them on top of flowers in the tree box.  Kudos to my neighbor who heaved a scooter abandoned in front of his walk into a dumpster.[/quote]

Huh. When I encounter a scooter that's blocking the sidewalk, what I do is move it to the side.

I agree that scooters don't belong on the sidewalk. But people are going to ride scooters on the sidewalk when it's not safe to ride in the road due to people driving cars. On every multi-lane road in the city, the city should convert one lane on each side to protected lanes for people on bikes and scooters.[/quote]

So finally! A cars/traffic solution is proposed by the Density Bro/as. [b]Take Wisconsin Ave and Connecticut Ave and any other four lane road and turn the outside lanes into bike lanes.[/b] Cars will get annoyed at the further restricted traffic and the owners will sell their vehicles replacing them with e-bikes.[/quote]

Exactly. Wonderful idea. Cities all over the world have been doing it. DC should too. People should have mobility choices. You may still choose to drive if you want to, meanwhile other people have the option of choosing other means to get around safely and conveniently.[/quote]
