Don't twist what im saying.
When I say other angle Cleary there are other people who live & use these areas other than Pedestrians and Bicyclists right?
The business owners who depend on and use Washington Ave everyday including their customers, residents in the area, workers, commuters, tourists.
Again these plans were only changed due to what the community wants and feels they need.
In fact didn't we have an article not to long ago with a resident saying she didn't want bike lanes on Washington Ave because they can hit pedestrians that are walking?
Again everyones view point of this plan is different and the residents and business owners of the areas within this plan lies chose what they wanted.
Oh yea to clearly show this is what the residents want kind of thing, if you look at Pine, Spruce or Lombard you see the residents of the AREA had no issue with bike lanes and even protected bike lanes, another example would be 11th St off of Washington Ave as well.
So lets not get upset about what people of their areas want.
