This seems to not be based on safety at all and is probably Mapps and Williams spending money PBOT doesn’t have because of complaints by business owners that are not based on data.

Exactly the kind of stupid decisions I expected Mapps to make when Teddy appointed him.

      Bikes are fine. Way more efficient, less dangerous, no pollution.

          Fair enough, and bikes also pollute with oil coming off the chain etc. Although I suspect pollution from a bike is well under 1% of the pollution from a car.
