      Yes, on street parking was removed. Effectively removing the shoulder for a Bike Lane. It doesn’t sound like they offered any solution for the old folks who can’t simply bike or walk to the grocery store.

      They should have added more public transportation before ripping up the streets.

      It even says in the article that they are in a public transportation desert, so this solution is hardly even a bandaid.

        Why can’t those people park their car on the property they own in the neighborhood instead of the steet?

        Free on street parking is not a car lane.

          Yeah. The picture definitely shows driveways big enough for a car, where some housing doesn’t have that.

          Given that I’m pro bike, and very anti-park-your-car-wherethefuckever-when-you-can-park-on-your-own property, I’m for the bike lanes.
