Let me get this straight. Redesigning a road so that it’s safer for all users, and multiple types of transport (other than a car) is somehow “loosing[sic] transportation options.”

Wasn’t a new transportation option, that previously didn’t exist because it was too dangerous for most people, just open up?

The only transportation option lost is the option to drive over the speed limit and use this road as a speedway past homes, churches, and a high school.

could it be that you didn’t see any cyclists because you were driving too fast? Cyclists too need to learn that ELB is even an option now, and a much better one than Penn.

nobody was riding on the abandoned railroad tracks to DC before the trail was put in. Now there’s a multi-million dollar industry and economic development along it.
