Andrew,

I agree that the injustice originated a long time ago (although it was perpetuated recently) but don't dismiss the impact if history and hurt feelings. I'm on the side of more bike lanes but I don't think that disenfranchising Klingle users is in the long term interest of our goal.

What can go wrong if you don't fix an age old injustice? I have two words for you: Middle East. Or, two words that are slightly less controversial, Shermans March. The South is still bitter about Sherman's tactics (which were arguably justified) and to this day it's a source of animosity that divides our country.

The Klingle Krazies (and I don't count myself as one) will never forget this injustice. And, even if it's not in the city's best interest or even their best interest they are likely to oppose anyone and anything associated with their injustice. And, that is likely going to be bike lanes in other parts of the city or other bike/driver issues.
