Today, Portland officials began removing a bike lane on NE 33rd avenue, just one month after it was installed. Traffic deaths in the City are on track to hit another record. Portlanders deserve safe streets. Add your voice. https://t.co/3Rnd8ceU7C
that's a transpo bureau that claims to be broke, removing a new bike lane
from a street designated years ago as a city bikeway
because it connects to the city's biggest destination for working-class jobs
without announcing the removal https://t.co/et3hOgNiI0
This bike lane is part of a plan that went through a 2-year public process, before being adopted by council by a 5-0 vote (with 4 of those council members still sitting today). To remove it with no notice is what's wrong.
Automakers told the same lie before the creation of NHTSA, that we died in cars because of bad drivers. Then we started regulating automakers--changing cars, not drivers--and traffic deaths plunged.
Cars are the problem. Anyone who says different is trying to sell you something.
