Fix the headline to say “evidence says”.

We’re not guessing. This isn’t he-said she-said. We know what makes streets safer because changes have already been tried and effects measured!

    We should just call it making a "bike-free car lane" and do the exact same thing as putting in a bike lane and then these troglodytes would love it.

    “We are taking a wide street that is four lanes – two in each direction – and cutting it in half for the purposes of a green initiative,” Wasserman said. “But how does that help emergency vehicles? If I’m dying in a fire, God forbid, is the ladder equipped to reach my window?”

    Yes, blame the bike lane for a deadly fire 🙄

    This is absurd, like 30-50 feral hogs, but for traffic capacity instead of cartridge capacity. They need that 4 lane street to save lives!

    You have to both sides those with the data and credentials to speak with authority on a subject, and idiots. No idea why, but it's very important that idiots get to spout their insane brain farts.

    They know this. They want this. People who feel less safe are more stressed out, they make worse choices, they feel less in control of their lives, they become more willing to hand control over to an authoritarian or less able to keep up with what authoritarians are doing. Socially impoverishing the population is policy because it creates the an environment that can be more easily taken advantage of. Almost all of their choices follow this pattern.

    This will make traffic worse. This harms even the braindead morons who are cheering for this.

    The administration also recently removed bike lanes and speed cameras from the Federal Highway Administration’s list of proven safety countermeasures.

    As in it's not longer proven safe? Didn't know research results came with an expiration date.

    I know, I know, bicycle lanes are spreading LGBTQ+ and are communists. Right?
