What meetings?

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

Also, you seem like a lunatic. We are having a discussion about bike lanes and you bring up marriage equality and trump?

I don’t know why you seem to believe there is a universally scientific consensus that the bike lanes in Providence are good as they are designed.

“The general public doesn’t always know what’s best for them” is a disturbing thing to say as well

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

I haven’t railed against anything, I’ve simply stated that the bike lanes as they are, are underutilized and increased traffic congestion.

Orrrrr it highlights how unpopular they are among most folks.

Additional speed bumps were added to eliminate overages in budget. It was not the result of traffic mitigation studies or civil engineering plans. Do you think that’s good?

I don’t need evidence to argue for that position, as I haven’t advocated for that. What evidence do you have that increased idling and stagnant traffic is good for the environment?

What an embarrassing cop out. If you want to advanced green transportation initiatives you should do so in way that is productive and inclusive. You seem to be pretty uninformed about this topic so I get why you don’t want to talk about it in a detailed way.

And all this being said, I was out on Election Day canvassing for Gonzalo in the rain as I had other days as well. Where TF were y’all?

Everything you say seems to suggest you only care about your own view in this situation

It also seems like to fled the “low income/minority groups” support this to they don’t know what’s best for them VERY quickly

This isn’t a soda tax or cigarette tax, this has a measurable negative affect on the community it is effecting. Bike commuting simply isn’t viable for many people and to try to stretch this into a way it forces them to is both ludicrous and harmful.

My experience is limited to talking to people, I’m unaware if any polling was done, but I don’t believe this is supported by low income of minority communities. The only people I’ve spoken with who support the bike lanes are white and considerably more wealthy than most in the south side.

The bike lanes are an overwhelmingly unpopular vanity project by an outgoing administration. While they maybe popular on the subreddit the Broad St bike lane sees little use and it increased congestion considerably. It’s not just businesses who dislike the bike paths despite what many seem to believe.
