      Are you saying that when parking spots are removed to create bike infrastructure, you think people don’t complain?

      I’ve had these very conversations with people. Our local public transit / biking advocacy group does presentations, works with local politicians, and runs events to promote biking, transit, and safe streets.

      Unless it’s a group that’s already 100% on board with pedestrian support needs, someone will complain that there’s not enough parking where a bike road should be. This is in a city where over 30% of downtown is open air parking lots, plus the roads, and then on street parking.

      This comic isn’t funny, it’s just a straight up depiction of our experiences here.
