I'm still red hot pissed off about this. Hang them fucking high - boot in the ass out the door at the next election.
How many bike tabs do you think it would take for Seattle to raise $20 million a year ? $200 bike tabs or should we just put bike cops on hard-core Mudede-type revenue raising missions?
Sooner or later they will need to start paying their own way.
I think the signals there for bikes had just red and green and were a bit smaller than the signals we put in, but the same basic idea.
The motorbikes also filtered up which was pretty amusing. They'd work their way up between the cars and then race ahead just as the light changed.
Ah, the old gas tax myth troll. Good one.
So DOUG., how big was your involuntary contribution to the boys in blue ?
Dominic, look at the budget, you chose what to cut by $20 million a year, or propose a tax increase.
Do I get to spend all the rest of the money I saved too?
I did not say anything about a gas tax.
your meme is fail.
the fact remains that the city's budget is tight. Asking those who ride bikes to contribute to the actual construction and maintenance of bike only lanes seems only logical - unless you have an issue with people paying for services that they want and use.
another bike riding douchebag asshole who doesnt think the rules of the road apply to him.
your the kind of guy who deserves a brush with a truck fender.
What I wanna know is when the goddamn pedestrians are going to start paying for their goddamn sidewalks. Why are they so afraid of paying shoe tabs!?
Good luck.
What exactly have drivers contributed to the construction and maintenance of 2nd Avenue that bicyclists haven't contributed?
Weird how tight your budget gets when you're shoveling a billion dollars into a hole in the ground.
Who gives a fuck what he says publicly so long as things keep getting done? Mcginn said SO MUCH publicly and very little got done. I voted for mcginn but seeing the progress I'm glad murray won.
It didn't help that right wing radio and the Seattle Times regularly mocked McGinn for being a cyclist. McGinn touting achievements for bicyclists was like Obama praising civil rights--the right wing backlash was immediate and dismissive.
Where does Ed Murray stand on the Ballard Missing Link? Last I heard he opposed it.
Ed Murray was AWOL on transit and bike/ped funding in the state legislature, so while it's cheap and easy to put down some paint and plastic lane markers, he failed to deliver the funding Seattle needs to pay for a bike master plan or to expand buses and trains.
