How do you connect the bike lanes without making certain lanes too narrow for larger vehicles?

I thought driving over protestors was frowned upon /s

Wouldn't reducing accessibility by car/bus disproportionately impact disabled people who can't walk or bike? OP of this thread has implied they no longer want PVD to be a car city. I guess disabled people will have to shelter in place for the rest of their lives

Banning cars & buses isn't gonna happen, sorry

And doing so would probably disproportionately impact disabled people who can't ride a bike... Doesn't sound very "liberal" to me!

I'm using it as an example of how biking and cars do not coexist well in general. Both the bicyclist and the automobile driver are put into danger. Especially at night. Idc if it's legal, it's not safe

Genius take. How does that apply to today? Best of luck biking across the city with all the cars

It's actually very common for bikers to be extremely aloof. Like the ones who bike directly In traffic when a sidewalk is available. It's a hazard for both themselves and the people driving

I'm talking about when a bike lane is available....

Would you say that many bikers choosing to use the sidewalk instead of the bike lanes right next to them is helping increase or decrease support for more bike lanes?

I had hope for Biden until the 2021 Haitian refugee crisis. He basically got away with it because "at least he isn't Trump". The bar goes ever lower as we circle the drain.

That's fair. I think what I'm trying to say is that there is areas where that is true, but they are little "zones". However to go a long distance from one zone to another is where difficulties are encountered

Exactly. The notion of a walkable city is a great idea, but it has to be planned that way from the start. It's too late to retroactively change, in my opinion.

As-is, it's potentially fatal to travel by bike because there is many roads without adequate sidewalks.... Let alone bike lanes

Do you actually think it's possible to make Providence suitable for traveling without cars? You need a car or a bus pass to get around. A bike isn't gonna get it done for long distances. Plus a lot of bikers use the sidewalk instead of the bike lane, even on roads WITH the bike lanes.

> Brett Smiley is as progressive as the rock stuck in my shoe.

So he's a typical democrat politician?

Most democrats are moderate tbh

Joe Biden is a great example of this.

He literally voted to overturn Roe vs. Wade when Reagan was president.

He called for an invasion of Iraq as early as 1998.

He sided with Bush and voted to invade Afghanistan

He sided with Bush and voted to invade Iraq

In 2021, he rounded up thousands of black haitians refugees and violently deported him.

Yet in 2022, he called for 100,000 ukranian (white) refugees

That was where he lost me.

Tfw you try to defeat Russia by teaming up with terrorists to ... ???? I don't think they thought that one all the way thru

How it started

>Afghan mujahideen are not the Taliban.

How it's going

>A former Mujahideen did start the them

Operation Cyclone is the name of the program

I find it very disgusting how you keep trying to imply that my pastor is doing nefarious things when he is so dedicated to morality that he refused to leave his wife when she had breast cancer. Yeah, you are a dickhead.

Analogy: Some teachers unfortunately abuse their students. Does that make every single teacher a statuarory rapist? In your big brain, apparently it does. Some men rape women. Does that make every single man a rapist? Including yourself? I'm sure you suddenly wouldn't want to paint with such a broad brush.

Holy shit dude

My pastor literally has an LGBT flag hanging from his churches welcome sign.

He literally testifies against Banning abortion

He's probably a better person than you honestly

He doesn't stereotype entire groups of people from worst case scenarios

You do, however.

Also, not every religious leader is catholic. My pastor is liberal methodist. You don't know what you are talking about

My paster literally has an LGBT pride flag hanging from his sign. He might be to the left of you honestly

He's stridentently opposed to rape and abuse. He testifies in court at the state house every year in favor of a woman's right to choose.

And he helps black Americans not lose their homes by doing mission work, rebuilding their homes free of charge before they are condemned.

What have you done to help the world lately? Probably a lot less than my pastor has done.

I never said it refuted anything, you unhinged fucking moron. I just said you sound like an asshole

Pretty unhinged take. My pastor was a good man who never once grifted, stood by his wife when she had breast cancer, and supported LGBT rights + a woman's right to choose.
