In New York and other cities where congestion pricing policies, bike infrastructure projects, and car bans have been put in place, cyclists are finding the streets more welcoming.
I mean, I don’t know about how things are over there but though for us cyclists here things are absolutely far from great (despite one of our majors having the gall to want to claim the “World capital for bicycles” for this city), for motorists it’s not the greatest thing ever. Poor roads, ever unfinished infrastructure, potholes, insecurity in all kinds of shapes you even can’t imagine…
All in all I’d say the title is poorly worded. Maybe an “make better infrastructure for cyclists” would have been more fair but, you know, shock value is what gets them clicks.
@m4m4m4m4@br3d Also “make things worse for drivers” can be things that sound bad but actually mean nothing. Closing half the lanes through a CBD has no impact on traffic, but it sounds really bad for drivers.
