Talks about making it safer for bikes is just talk from the city council. In the end, it's not that they don't like bikes, it's that they don't really care. Building more apartments and more biotech towers is what they care about.

They approved sherwin williams after they approved this traffic calming so you have to wonder what's going on. What are they thinking? First they say yes to trying for a bike blvd and then they say it's not possible. Now they're going ahead with traffic calming. How much money are they spending just so they can say they like bikes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-44112449126535378292016-11-14T15:09:23.606-08:002016-11-14T15:09:23.606-08:00You raise an excellent point.

It's absurd on its face: right after signing the document that says a bike boulevard is going to be impossible for Horton Street because there will be 4000 vehicles per day, they're poised to do a program of traffic calming (albeit Level Three where the General Plan calls for Level Four) to try to deliver the bike boulevard metric of less than 3000 vehicles per day. The Tattler is going to do a story about this very subject in the coming few days. Watch for it. To answer your question, it has to do with optics more than actual public policy (surprise surprise, right?).Brian Donahuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12705682112476904502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-84777509149868716722016-11-14T14:12:38.276-08:002016-11-14T14:12:38.276-08:00This doesn't make any sense, they're just ...This doesn't make any sense, they're just getting ready to install the temporary traffic calming on Horton that was decided on a couple of years ago. If they're not going to do the bike blvd then why do the traffic calming?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
