Latest Spin From PPW Bike Lane Opponents: Cut the Lane in Half?
“Opponents of a controversial bike lane along Prospect Park West are offering a one-way compromise, suggesting the two-lane path be chopped in half. ‘The entire community favors a regular one-way bike lane, which would neither place pedestrians in danger nor create the kind of choking traffic we see day in and day out,’ Neighbors for…
“pedestrians in danger”…get a F*()ING LIFE! If any sentient person is incapable of crossing a two way BIKE LANE, they should be eliminated from the gene pool.
Now ask me my real opinion…
I dont need a bike lane to ride my bike, i ride where ever I want to and hopefully piss people off, ha ha ha !!!
****sticks tongue out****
So dumb. Apparently what they really want is a “bike lane” that’s mostly used for double-parked cars, and no northbound bike lane whatsoever. That’s not a compromise.
I don’t see how taking an incremental three feet from the bike lane would make much of a difference — unless the group is advocating to make the bike lane narrow, street-side, and unprotected, which would certainly take away many of the safety advantages for bikers, and would have less of a traffic-calming, pedestrian-protecting effect if the street went back to three traffic lanes. Forget it. These so-called neighbors should admit defeat and find another cause to fixate on.
WOW… this undermines every last one of their arguments!! Well done!
Just as I suspected, DH.
Must resist urge to jump out window

these people are f***ing losers. like, this is what they have to do w/ their time? do they really think that pedestrians are in danger, and that traffic has been (more) mired on PPW since the bike lanes have been opened? they call themselves “neighbors for better bike lanes”— now that is an oxymoron, man.
Snappy – it won’t. this is stupid “compromising” bc the nimby assholes just won’t let it die.
