Re: 鈥淥ur new bike network鈥檚 heavy toll: making so many people unhappy,鈥� comment, June 9.
What makes me unhappy is seeing my local newspaper continue to peddle opinions about the high quality, separated bike lanes that keep myself and my family safe, especially opinions that blame safe infrastructure for bad car drivers.
There is nothing confusing about 鈥渞ed stop鈥� and 鈥済reen go.鈥� Car drivers who find the two-way bike lanes and the designated turn phases associated with them confusing should probably turn in their licences until they pass the driver鈥檚 test again.
As for 91原创 Street, Cook would have been a better choice for cyclists and drivers. I am disappointed that city council backed down from Cook as the better street for biking, given its excessive width and gentler grade.
I am even more annoyed that they did so based on the fact-free hysteria of a handful of people.
