Politicians in the Bay Area want to remove bike lanes from the Richmond-San Rafael bridge because they are worried about traffic congestion.

Cyclists say removing these bike lanes will put them in danger.

Probably driving in the bike lane

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 36 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

The bike lane is like 1/3rd the size of the car lane and has more people on it.

[–] knexcar@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

No, in this case it’s a two way cycle track that takes up exactly one car lane. Before the bike path it was a shoulder, but if they removed the bike path they’d almost certainly turn it into a flex lane like the bottom deck of the bridge.

That being said, I’m sure it would induce demand and cause even more people to commute from Richmond (or worse, far flung suburbs like Antioch) to Marin until traffic is worse. And there’d be no way to bike since bikes aren’t allowed in the car freeway lanes, and there are no alternative routes over the bay.

Also do you have a source for more bikes using it? I’d look it up but am on my phone and too lazy.

How does putting slow-moving bikes into traffic somehow fix congestion? Some dipshits are under the same impression in Canada, too... Like, have they all forgotten how much a single cyclist can fuck up traffic?

[–] knexcar@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Cyclists weren’t allowed on the bridge at all until the bike lane, since it was a freeway bridge, so they hope they’ll just go away (and probably encourage them to buy cars or take the once-an-hour bus).

Lol so basically "think of the kids" once again forgetting about the kids.

[–] Aganim@lemmy.world 19 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

The solution is obviously that the bikers are to join the daily traffic jam in a car, instead of entirely skipping the queue like selfish bastards.

/s, for the satire-impaired.

They want to scare cyclists into not cycling at all

Muricans and their cars xD

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 97 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did anyone call him out for this during the meeting?

There's a public comment section, right? Straight up ask why he feels it's appropriate be deciding matters of public saftey while actively endangering the public himself by distracted driving during this very meeting.

From my experience with a different fight in NYC, these people don't give a shit. They have no shame, they only care about their golden kickbacks.

Why are all the top level comments from people defending reckless driving?

[–] kepix@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

you need to understand, that the murican car industry has made everything unreachable by walking and biking. its a total alien form of transport in newnaziland.

Is that even legal? Just holding your phone while driving can cost you a fine of €. 430 here.

[–] DrunkEngineer@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

No, it is not legal. This bike path is part of the Bay Trail, which was enacted by State legislation, and served as mitigation for environmental damage done by Caltrans highway work. The BCDC was specifically created by the legislature to ensure maximum feasible public access to the Bay. So voting to close the path violates any number of laws and policies.

As for driving while distracted by the phone...yeah that's also illegal.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago

It's probably on a hands free mount rolling at the camera angle.

However, it's still illegal to have video playing within view of the driver, so he's still breaking the law
