once again i ask you to find a single instance where people for bikes/ green lane project has advocated for anything other than what they now call a protected lane.

as for the civil war...just imagine a serviceable (but not perfect) DZF bike lane replaced by a poorly designed "protected lane" that in the eyes of many is worse than no infrastructure at all. then imagine this repeated multiple times.

thankfully, in pdx, there is some evidence that we are maturing beyond knee jerk cheerleading of protected infrastructure.
