"And furthermore, what makes you think that is a bike lane?  Two thick stripes with a chevron?  Why is there an interior stripe?  Are bikes forbidden to ride in the gutter?What is the purpose of that space between the interior stripe and the curb?I live in California.  Bike lanes have one stripe, or two, or their green painted (very slippery when wet), and they are routed to expose cyclists to the most dangerous traffic conditions.  Cross hatches?  Why?Why can't I park my car in that space between the interior line and the sidewalk?"

"I think we should consider putting fuel tanks in vehicles so that they can venture into urban areas without the need for messy cord.Or maybe we just let the EV crowd argue with the bike crowd, while the rest of us go about our daily routine, paying for gas and parking off the street.In reality, this kind of mistake occurs all the time because modern civic improvement is all political and grant driven from above.  There are competing grants for charging stations, bike lanes, wildlife crossings, wheelchair ramps, and so on.  Each with its own constituency.  In the community where I live, we have wheelchair ramps that expose pedestrians and property to errant vehicles (because there is no curb between street and sidewalk), and ramps that lead to -- literally -- nowhere.If there was any actual planning going on in local communities, these kinds of things would not happen.  But there is not.  City staff just responds to where the money is available "from above".  It's a matter of survival."
