Reply to comment by Locksmith-Pitiful in Brett Smiley looks to change / eliminate bicycle lane on South Water Street by Locksmith-Pitiful

Please talk to a civil engineer about their thoughts on the new bike lanes. Unlike you, I actually have.

The fact you think civil engineers solely have the hand in neighborhood building shows your ignorance -- in fact, civil engineers widely likely support this because it's what they're taught in schools because it's grounded in the fucking evidence. I've already went to meetings and talked to crowds of not just civil engineers, but everyone else involved.

Please consult an urban studies or transit academic journal. You're kind of behind on the times. Cars aren't the way forward anymore.

Recommend me the people you have talked to, I’d love to talk to them.

Come to the many meetings around transportation, accessible infrastructure, and urban planning in the city. These are often held by the city itself and elected officials from lawmakers to individual council members. Do let them know cars are the best way forward, perhaps if they have the patience, they'll explain to you why you're behind.

I suggest you email your local council person, follow the Providence planning social media (there was an event just like this the other week starring a Lego artist), as well as look at the cities upcoming meeting agendas.
