The bike lanes were installed two years ago as part of a $1.5 million, in response to serious crashes in the area.

These MOFOs don't value the lives of cyclists, so why should cyclists value the windows or mirrors of these future parked cars? 🤫

Same city that recently extended their 50' building height limit (despite already having several apartment buildings taller than that).

What's wrong will tall buildings?

Nothing. Sorry. I was unclear. They've extended their ban on new buildings taller than 50'.

Yes... Tell people that if they can't drive they are unwanted in society. Then you wonder why people like me are angry.

They want you working 3 jobs to lease a brand new truck every 3 years and paying insurance on it you can't afford in America.

I can’t believe it was unanimous. In my city support for bike lanes is almost unanimous (though they still won’t fund their construction…)

I guess if democracy fails then all that’s left is direct action. Anyone live in that area know anything about organizations that could spearhead something like this? I would think the Bay Area would have something like this going on but maybe not.
