Can we object to car lanes?
On a street near where I live, the neighbors are vocally opposed to a bike lane, and they keep using the line that the city should “consider the needs of the people who live there.” I keep asking them on NextDoor if the city should listen when I object to car traffic on my street.
Nobody ever has an answer.
It cannot be the case that cycling infrastructure is discussed pracemeal like this. Would the public be asked about installing a new pedestrian sidewalk? No because it’s considered normal for a street to have a sidewalk. If a national safety standard for multi-modal infrastructure were in place, these kinds of questions would become uncontroversial.
It should be a pedestrian mainwalk. Cars should be the sidelane.
Sadly that’s not even true: https://ggwash.org/view/amp/101707
Carbrain in the US is now terminal.
Where do you find out about this kind of thing? Not yet heard anything about outrage locally but if there was I would want to make it clear not everyone is opposed to it
