Trump Admin Cancels Grants for Pedestrian Safety and Bike Lanes, Calling Them ‘Hostile’ to Cars - Divisions by zero

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.zip/post/49481720 [https://lemmy.zip/post/49481720] > > The Trump administration is canceling millions of dollars’ worth of grants to help cities install bike lanes and other infrastructure meant to curb pedestrian deaths because it is allegedly “hostile” to cars.

What’s always baffling about stuff like this (not specifically this, everyone knows Trump is an idiot) is that they don’t realise that whatever is good for pedestrians and bikes is also great for cars. It takes away cars from the road which makes traffic so much better. It makes it easier to provide parking because it doesn’t have to be right next to the destination.

Also without bike lanes bikes will more likely have to take the lane and drivers just love that.
