D'Amato takes on the all-powerful cyclists' lobby...
Oh, D'Amato, earning her creds as trash rag writer.
The all-powerful "cyclists lobby"...WTF is that supposed to be. It's just like antifa, the boogieman invented by people too cowardly to face the fact that they're "the baddies".
So tired of her bullshit.
Just for some context to her numbers. That 1/2 million dollars is for "temporary" infrastructure for lets say, half a year, for about 30 km of infrastructure. Road paving costs ~ 1 million dollars per lane km and must be done every ~10-15 years. Lets ignore that these are 4 lane roads and take the lower number. That means these same roads cost 30 million dollars / 10 years = 3 million dollars per year in "temporary" costs. So a little perspective there, nothing is permanent, and this is only expensive because it's a MASSIVE project.
