Re: Pedestrians aren't the only ones who matter.

Posted by Stephen Bauman on Tue Dec 27 23:27:55 2016, in response to Re: Pedestrians aren't the only ones who matter., posted by BrooklynBus on Tue Dec 27 11:06:22 2016. edf40wrjww2msgDetailB:detailStr The bias is clearly in favor of cyclists when you decide to eliminate a traffic lane on Queens Boulevard inconveniencing 100,000 motor vehicle daily Where did you get that figure? The bike lane is currently between Roosevelt Ave and the LIE. What's the daily count between these two points? Hint, it's between 40 and 45K. The protected bicycle lane did not take away a travel lane. It was constructed almost entirely on what had been used for parking. This means it did not affect those 40-45K who were traveling on Queens Blvd. It affected only those who were parking in those spots. How many spots? Let's estimate: The distance between Roosevelt and the LIE is 2.7 miles. Let's assume that only 75% is suitable for parking and 25% are taken up by intersections. Let's also assume that a parked car takes up 20 feet. This leaves room for slightly more than 1000 parked cars. That's the bias comparison you should make 2000 cyclists vs. 1000 parking spaces.
