The idaes don't make sense:
1. Impose a congestion/commuter tax on those who drive into the city from Virginia and Maryland. Since the population of Washington nearly doubles to a million during the work week, it is logical that those drivers who benefit from our roads ought to pay for them - DC residents and the city council want to impose this tax on all commuters inclding (and especailly cars).
2. Install cycle tracks (bike lanes) on all arterials and on all future construction. - the roads are conjested now. Adding another lane makes auto trafiic worse and the existing bike lanes aren't used by cyclists
3. Initiate a widespread education campaign about the rules of the road, sharing, and how to be both a safe driver and rider; delivered through PSAs, driver education programs and public schools - who's going to pay for this? This is a city where aids is at least 3% and education hasn't made an impact. A massive awareness campaign is needed and the audience likely doesn't care
4. Complete the trails that are unfinished, repair those in disrepair, and begin construction on all others. - again, where is the money coming from?
