The tables on the road were only there for the inauguration day, but bike lane is here to stay.

This is beautiful
I thought you were replying to the comment on top
My hard line opinion is that roads are dead spaces. There is no opportunity for anything to grow or flourish; this includes things like community. More roads = more dead space.
If you want to activate a space, i.e. bring community back, reduce road space. And, of course, with reduced road space you need to counter balance with better infrastructure for other modes of transport to get people moving to and from.
Basic town planning! Looking at you... Local council...
Don't look up parking lot rules in america, dead space like it's going out of style just so crowds can shop on black Friday and Christmas.
Ohoho... I have seen those rules and having visited both California and Texas last year, I can safely say that I don't want any of that where I live. California was marginally better than Texas though but not by much.
It was insane to me that it was a 3hr public bus ride to NASA, and that included a 20 minute walk from where the bus drops you off.
...And those Stepford Wives-like suburban hellscapes with nothing but roads and freeways for miles.
Madness.
Madness? THIS IS AMERICA! ~Don't catch you slippin' now~
Get off the bike path grandma
In my experience cycling in London, it wouldn't be a bike lane without some doofus walking on it 😅
That bitch just walkin' in the bike lane.
Those guys on the fuckin' road.
Bet there's some kind of psychological trick you can play on cyclists, distracting them with pictures of people walking in bicycle paths.
Everyone else in that scene could be raw-fucking mid-sized Gumby sex dolls and I'd still be like "Get out the damn bike lane!"
