What is the alternative? The article acknowledges that changes are the result of COVID related budget cut backs ("But the budget collapse caused by COVID-19 scaled back the project radically, and now we’re considering sharrows instead of separated bicycle lanes."), then spends the rest of the article talking about how both the current situation and new proposal are unacceptable, but neglects to propose any kind of solution given the budget constraints.
- matsemann 6y agoThe solution is to block the street off from cars. I don't get why every street need to have two-way car traffic. It can even lead to more congestion when there's more roads and intersections. Here someone will always cry "it will kill the businesses on that street", but then the opposite happens. It's a more quiet street, it's walkable, can sit outside and drink a coffee etc.
