Two of the five commissioners are not giving the finger to the sign.

One of the commissioners who posted the photo on her Twitter wrote “’F’ the ops” (“ops” meaning opposition). That’s an “F’” to all who don’t happen agree with them.
Some of these 3C commissioners in the photo were elected by default because they were the only candidates who filed to be on the ballot. Two of them won contested races by narrow margins. So their Twitter photo and "winner-take-all" attitude are incredibly rude, arrogant, and immature. Their job as ANC commissioners is not to act as if they have a mandate to push though their personal agendas over "the opps." It is to listen and represent the views of their various constituents and to try to address the concerns of as many stakeholders as possible.

If you look at the precinct counts for the voters who live closest to Connecticut Avenue, Frumin actually outperformed his returns in other areas of the Ward. Given the bike lanes were the primary focus of Frumin's opponent, and given the discussion on the neighborhood email lists, one would conclude that if they were a major issue, Krucoff would have done better in those areas. That he actually did worse is quite instructive.
For the bike supporters, this is a myopic religious issue. We get it. But there were many other issues Krucoff was running on from housing vouchers, to Hardy/GDS site, to prop 82, lower taxes, more police, and others. The fact that you think it was a referendum on bike lanes is comical and slightly sad.
And yet, HE DID WORSE IN THE PRECINCTS DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY BIKE LANES
get it?
BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE ALL THE SINGLE ANGRY UNMARRIED WHITE MEN LIVE IN TINY APARTMENTS WITH THEIR BIKES.
Ahh yes, Commissioners Siddiqui, Tandaric, David, Gore, Pagats are all white men. Oh wait, none of them are.

You wouldn't know that reading the Cleveland Park group - all the single family dwellers clutching their pearls over the DOOM of the pending bike lanes suggests otherwise.
