But sacrificing parking, even unused parking, for a bike lane....
Well, it's a cynical day for me today.
Sorry, I don't quite understand. Are you suggesting that they should keep three lanes of traffic and replace the parking with a bike lane? And that this option would be unpopular and/or rejected?
Yes, that is what I am saying. Mainly I am saying this due to frustration it the complete freak-out that usually follows the suggestion of putting bike lanes in place of one of two parking lanes on a street which never sees 50% utilization.
The same can generally be seen on any road diet though.
I'm just sick and tired of the "right" choice being overruled by fear of change.
