Reply to comment by Locksmith-Pitiful in Brett Smiley looks to change / eliminate bicycle lane on South Water Street by Locksmith-Pitiful

I think using the phrase “first priority” requires willful divorce from reality.

Huh? It was one of his top priorities. It was such a specific, targeted topic, it's so clear he has a grudge. I think that thinking he means anything other than eliminating it requires a divorce from reality.

Where does he even call it a priority, much less one of his top ones? That isn’t what the piece or the quotes say at all.

While technically you may be right, his priority has been business first, and businesses don't like this. It appears this may have been his first thought when asked about bikes which is a worrying sign for our accessible infrastructure and green energy goals.

There aren’t that man businesses on south water and right now at least Wild Colonial, Cafe Modest, and Baccaro support the bike lane. I bet others do too now that it’s been implemented and hasn’t effected their business. The PVD streets coalition should organize these businesses so show the new mayor that businesses do support it.
