    This about the dumbest post I’ve seen today. How dare these people exercise safety so that they can install the fucking safety barriers that you want for the bike lanes. Holy shit, take a step back and get a sense of reality.

      The point is that the teeny little barriers they’re installing which are supposedly adequate for cyclists’ safety are far less protection than the massive buffer they have as protection while installing them.

      It’s not about blaming the people doing the installation, it’s about highlighting the government’s hypocrisy when it comes to cyclist safety.

        I get the point. It’s just a shitty point. We can agree that the bike lane is not sufficiently safe, and you claim that those barriers are inadequate, but comparing the safety of bikers in the bike lane vs workers literally working in the car lane, and somehow correlating them shutting down that lane as hypocrisy is a shit argument. Apples and oranges.

      Butt hurt much?

      Why didnt they barricade the car lane off and use that to install the bike barrier lane protectors from ? Use stop / go personell so cars can use the other lane.

      They’ve blocked the entire cycle lane with what looks like a compressor up ahead as well (presumably to supply a pneumatic drill for the bolts)

      Or here’s an idea, install concrete barricades from the back of a truck with a crane that actually project cyclists from being murdered.

        Please go back to Facebook, YouTube comments, or even Reddit with this petulant behavior.

        No one here wants this sort of low quality, personally, attacking, bratty behavior in their discussions.
