During the public hearing, commissioner Karl Hasz was spotted driving his car
How does putting slow-moving bikes into traffic somehow fix congestion? Some dipshits are under the same impression in Canada, too… Like, have they all forgotten how much a single cyclist can fuck up traffic?
Cyclists weren’t allowed on the bridge at all until the bike lane, since it was a freeway bridge, so they hope they’ll just go away (and probably encourage them to buy cars or take the once-an-hour bus).
Lol so basically “think of the kids” once again forgetting about the kids.
They want to scare cyclists into not cycling at all
The solution is obviously that the bikers are to join the daily traffic jam in a car, instead of entirely skipping the queue like selfish bastards.
/s, for the satire-impaired.
