Re: Anti-car democrats are a road hazard

Some of what you say makes sense and some of it is just convoluted and you provided no specific examples which was what I was asking.

Where did you get the idea that bike lanes slow down buses? And who said anything about getting rid of bike lanes? I am just opposed to massively increasing their number and where they are being placed. They belong mainly on side streets, not on main thoroughfares.

And I never said anything about making streets more vehicle friendly, I just don’t want them to become less vehicle friendly.

You say the logical solution is a busway because getting rid of bike lanes impedes the objective of reducing traffic congestion when the opposite is true. A busway moves traffic congestion to neighboring streets. It doesn’t help get rid of it. It is also very inconvenient for someone who cannot use public transportation, by making them walk further.

I was just in Ocean City Md where they have a combined bus and bike lane. I am still trying to figure out how that works. If bikes supposed to pull over for buses to pass. Would something like that work here do you think?
