Lots of incorrect assumptions here

Pretty gross mischaracterization of the people that live here. The SFHs & other condos in the area cost minimum 2x more. We're already maintaining 3 100+ yr old buildings, and neither I nor most of my neighbors are mega rich. It's a lot of work done by volunteers, a thankless job.

And a video of the official opening!

True, part of the advantage of quick build (which I would classify this as) is that you can get more distance at the expense of shoddier infrastructure. Hopefully this is extended to be useful before someone gets it ripped out.

I dunno, it took a bit for the Gillham cycletrack to be finished, it was disconnected along the way. Looks like this at least gives Independence Square a nice road diet at the least.

I imagine with the funding situation the past couple years, eliminating the Main Max was always going to be the case. I am happy to see the new 50 connector though.

For clarification: go to the "People" tab in that search link and see how Boston has set up all their city departments under their domain name.

It's only been 10 months since Bluesky opened publicly, so give it time. But imo it would help if more gov/orgs would post here regularly. Top of my head, the city, BikeWalkKC, and KC Biz Journal should be here already. I'd love to see KC do what Boston has done (bsky.app/search?q=bos...)

Already used this half a dozen times, way faster route to the Plaza.

Bollards would fix it, but it'd be really nice to have the 20th streetscape be extended east here.

Counterpoint, the scenario described (same direction, car turns right in front of me) has happened to me more than once. I think more than contraflow-or-not, the overall design affects comfort/safety. I would take Gillham lanes over same-flow but very narrow 27th lanes any day.
