If we all drive and bike like everyone around us is about to do something unpredictable, we would prevent many accidents.

I take the subway. but I also am practical and open minded.

Why should you get to take up all this space while polluting everywhere you go? It's rather selfish if you think about it. Cars have no place in a densely packed urban area, and it's time for them to get out of our neighborhood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-89411648453982083952019-06-19T17:24:31.826-04:002019-06-19T17:24:31.826-04:00So, what, having a street that is essentially a li...So, what, having a street that is essentially a line of traffic between a two-lane parking lot *is* necessary?

I'm pro bike lanes.
