Ridgewood NJ, while many have bemoaned Ridgewood’s long time demise ,who says Ridgewood is not a trendsetting town? Look at all these other towns trying to catch up with the Village and our bike lane to nowhere!
According to the Wall Street Journal , “City officials across the U.S. are installing hundreds of miles of bike lanes as they respond to a cycling boom that began during the pandemic and capitalize on federal grants, including from the roughly $1 trillion infrastructure law.
But car culture and political realities—anything that makes driving or parking harder doesn’t tend to win a lot of voters—mean these routes are sometimes counterintuitive, unsafe and just plain pointless.”
In fact “Bike lanes to nowhere” has actually become “a thing”, and sprouting up do to a federal grant bonanza in Los Angles , Baltimore, City of Athens , Fairfax County to name just a few.
This is happening everywhere. WTF?
