Do you currently have a commute that involves Mountain View? Ever driven on Shoreline when there's both a concert and an accident on the 101? Ever gotten stuck on Rengstorff or Castro when there's a Caltrain incident?
Sure, let's remove a road lane. Then all the traffic will back up and clog the residential streets.
- muninn_ 9y agoOk so what do you think happens if you keep adding lanes? Hint: traffic never gets better. It's called induced demand. I for one also don't want my world turned into a mega highway for the suburbs. Once traffic gets bad enough, people will have to find alternatives, like biking, taking the bus, or simply moving to other areas.
- fern12 9y agoI never said anything about adding additional car lanes. My point was, that removing trees to add a bike lane can be a good thing. Yes, it is unfortunate to remove a historical tree, but if it makes bicycling safer and takes more cars off the road, why not?
