www.kcci.com/automotive/20355595/detail.html#So they have the fucking bike "trail" between cars opening doors and moving traffic?? Holy shit that makes my brain hurt. Reducing Ingersoll to two lanes?? Are you fucking kidding me?? I feel bad for the business owners. No one will want to drive Ingersoll anymore.

Reducing Ingersoll to two lanes?? Are you fucking kidding me?? I feel bad for the business owners. No one will want to drive Ingersoll anymore. The buisness owners are the ones who want it for parking. It seems pretty retarded to me. It's bad enough trying to drive down the street right now with two lanes, let alone only one. Not even that many people ride their bikes down Ingersoll and they ride on the road anyways as it is. Seems like a huge waste of money. Why not just leave the street alone now that most of the construction that has been going on for the last three years is about finished and just let the neighborhood be nice for a couple of years. It seems pretty asinine to assume you have any idea about what traffic flow will be like when the neighborhood has had at least three or four blocks closed or under construction for three or more years. |

Marshalltown had discussed this very same thing a year or so ago.
Thankfully, the proles rose up and bitched enough about it that the city grew a brain and nixed it.
The entire idea of hella-tarded if you ask me.

This is my hood. This is indeed a retarded idea. It will never happen. One lane is totally inadequate, and there is no biking issue to speak of. Most cyclists seem to take Grand anyway.

I grew up in that neighborhood too, and frequent it quite a bit. I agree with the board that this is a bad idea. There really aren't that many bike riders on that street anyway, but if you're heading toward downtown, the lanes are plenty wide enough already to share with bike riders.
As long as Zimms is still easily accessible, I'm not worried about it too much.

There are 20 fucking days a year where it is nice enough to ride your bike to work in Neck Moines. Other than those days, it is either balls cold or instant swass hot. Why fuck up traffic? It's not like you're going to turn Shit Moines into a nice town by adding bike lanes. The place will still suck ass.

Tearing down my old building would improve the aesthetic of the Ingersoll neighborhood much more than creating a bike lane on the street.

No, not till tomorrow. I wouldn't classify them as a jam band either. They are reggae/dub.
