That's why they're pushing for an EIS. It's absurd that more bikes would be bad for the environment. The tactic has stalled bike improvements in San Fran for years so far. If they succeed with the EIS idea, then the Livable Streets movement should demand an EIS every time any improvements are made that could create more car traffic. Exactly, Josh.

Seems a lot simpler than an EIS. The idea of lowering and enforcing the speed limit sounds great but I don't really see any reason to expect actual enforcement.

A initial partial solution is to lower and enforce a speed limit of 10 MPH. Which agency or legislative body has jurisdiction over the vehicle speed limit in Prospect Park?

If he had stood up for congestion pricing rather than proposing last minute alternatives as a fig leaf for the opposition Windsor Terrace would have less traffic through traffic.
