I am always amused when the social engineers think they can squeeze an 8 or 10 (or more) foot bike lane in between the building fronts without reducing the sidewalk (which are full) widths or number or vehicle lanes (which are also full.) 
We even had them try that here in little “frontier land” Fairbanks a couple of times. Fortunately, the public here isn’t that stupid.
To put it in term you might understand, you can’t put ten pounds of ■■■■ into a five pound bag. Only a social engineer would attempt it.
What bike lanes? How will reducing vehicle lanes to add bike lanes make it better?
How many of them ride bicycles?
Travelling by car in NYC is one of the dumbest thing you could possible do.
has nothing to do with social engineering.
Its the same reason they built a subway, and commuter trains.
Bike lanes are dumb because it snows 4 months a year.
When commuting from the burbs?
They drive to a parking lot and get on the subway.
How do you accommodate bicycles in a dedicated lane without taking away from pedestrians and/or vehicles? Only a social engineer would think you could.
how do you suggest they solve their transportation issue.
Without a bicycle.
Not my problem. I’m just trying to protect them from their own stupidity.
the point is to eliminate transportation backlog by offering more sources of transport like bikes, buses, trains, subway, etc.
Why are bike lanes popular? because its easier to spray paint lines then dig up miles of road and boar tunnels.
the smart thing to do would be to expand subway lines but that cost 3 billion a mile, you can see why people would rather spray paint lines.
You are deliberately ignoring the fact that to create bike lanes with paint, they will have to close one vehicle lane. That has the potential to cause gridlock as a normal situation. Unless, you make bike use mandatory that is.
You get what you pay for. They may as well save the money they have budgeted for paint.
Traffic control is now social engineering.
Wild.
She’s hardly a “movie star”.
Of course it is.
