In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
After the berms were installed, drivers complained that they were difficult to see, so they were hitting them
So they are telling us that they were driving on the cycling lane all this time, and those things make it difficult to do so
So they are admitting that they cant pilot their vehicle safely...
Remove their licenses, not the bike lanes
No wonder the cyclists needed protection.
Watching that video, you can tell the mayor hates bikes and is part of the anti-bike crowd. "Bicyclists told us they hate these new lanes", except that's probably just the mayor's friend Bob who only rode for 10 minutes one day, so they could make this claim. They should have to prove there's really a lot of cyclists pushing for this before the city spends money undoing anything. From what I saw, this would be a huge improvement in my town and I would dig it.
This bullshit again, the “barriers” were folding markers and parking space bumpers. Local riders mostly disliked them since the bumpers wouldn’t stop any cars anyways and just create less control for everyone involved. If the dumbass city council did it right there wouldn’t have been an issue but they half assed it and got hate from both sides. Good riddance.
