    How useful really is transit if everyone has to drive to their train station? The fact they greenlit so much rail should mean they should be fighting for more bike lanes, not less.

      I’m in total agreement with you about supporting bike lanes, I’m just pointing out the fallacy of saying, “We can’t afford to build rail.”
