    Hey New York, how’s it going now that you’ve killed the plan for congestion pricing in Manhattan?

        I think this game is called car jam mania or something like that. The cars can’t turn and you have to figure out how to get them out before the timer runs out and the cops show up to start issuing citations. The more citations get handed out the lower your score :(

      Bike lanes are proven to increase revenue for businesses in their vicinity. Car parking takes up valuable space in a city which could be used more productively.

    Many places just lowered the speed limits so they could narrow the lanes and then put in the bike lanes and kept the parking. Or get rid of left turning lanes or make alternating streets one way so left turning lanes aren’t needed.

      This is a great way to do it too! Many streets even have a 40km/h speed limit but are built wide enough to accommodate 80km/h, so drivers often speed and increase fatalities.

    I didn’t know that Tom Flood was in my city. It’s like he knows exactly how our city council behaves.

    Bah, it’s the exact opposite here in the UK. Cities want to build bike lanes and it’s the people who keep stopping them.

    Fresno: Here’s your bike lanes, we just had to remove 50% of the bus stops to make room.
