Philadelphia residents clash in five-hour city council meeting. Drivers argue cyclists need to compromise, while cyclists said their lives are at stake.

it’s that they’re forced to use the general-purpose lane instead and car drivers have to wait behind them.

Or they do go away and return to using a car, creating yet more car traffic for drivers to deal with.

Yes! Bike lanes are car infrastructure. Anything that is creates to stop a car/driver from driving their car on to, or in to it, is car infrastructure.

Sidewalks for example were created to prevent cars for driving up or in the area. Crosswalks were created to standardize crossing zones where cars might expect pedestrians.

Prior to this city streets were for people, not their vehicles.

For real. Compromise with my demand to not be exposed to life-threatening heavy machinery and air pollution without my consent. A middle option between that position and what the carbrains want is extremely difficult from our current reality.

The cyclists want the loading cones, they prevented cars from parking in the bike lanes.
