That's a nonsensical objection one step short of yelling at clouds.<br />Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285540310465422476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-49427413433352598702019-05-13T16:11:03.163-04:002019-05-13T16:11:03.163-04:00I keep wondering how they expect to get people to ...I keep wondering how they expect to get people to come downtown, what with the constant loss of parking and loss of driving lanes on main streets thanks to the ill-begotten Red Line project.<br /><br />The thing that irritates me about the Red Line is that it's nowhere near me, but once I get downtown, it crosses right into my path down Capitol Avenue. I'm not going to drive over to Broad Ripple, park (probably in a pay lot), and take the bus downtown, so I'm going to have to deal with the loss of ANOTHER lane on Capitol (bike lane already made things bad; this will make them worse).<br /><br />Eventually you just know the plan is to ban automobiles from the Mile Square entirely.Fuzzy Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802539927743643041noreply@blogger.com
