yeah, pay no attention when your tap water holds a flame.
Re: “City Director Erma Hendrix unhappy about bike lanes”
12th street did not have the traffic count commensurate for a 4 lane blvd. It was put on a road diet and its space repurposed to accomodate additional modes of transportation.
Bike lanes by themselves do not lead to safer cycling conditions. Slowing the traffic down does. The restriping to include bike lanes leaves one travel lane and that slows traffic down.
In other words it is impractical and unsafe to expect a high speed free access boulevard to exist in a congested urban area.
There are times that riding in the heat and humidity of the day will leave one sweaty and unpresentable at work. Here's an idea. Rack the bike on the bus to work and ride the bike home.
Or maybe one works for an employer that provides a shower for lunch time walkers. No reason a commuter cyclist can't use the same shower for the post ride to work.
I think a 1/2 mile ride to the store vs taking the car for that trip can be wasteful.
Toss on a back pack, get your few items and bring it back home. Do that a few times a week and miles on the car are saved and a little more activity is rarely a bad thing.
Re: “Judge refuses to dismiss suit challenging new 12-week abortion limit”
With the complete absence of the choice for abortions, events like those of Dr. Kermit Gosnell will happen in increasing frequency. Only difference is the procedure will be performed in back rooms by other than a medical professional.
A member of the legitimate rape - hold an aspirin between her legs - has surfaced.

I see that free parking at the RV market is going away. Too bad Erma Hendrix wouldn't want her constituents to have a safe instrastructure designed to enable them to ride a bicycle into the RV and avoid a parking fee.
Re: “Morning report: Sherwood affirms electric deal; end to free parking”
If one could safely ride a bicycle into the River Market then parking would be free wouldn't it?
Too bad Erma Hendrix doesn't think bicycle lanes are a necessity. I'm wondering if her constituents feel the same way.
Re: “City Director Erma Hendrix unhappy about bike lanes”
For some reason this reminds me of the grocery store that was once along Broadway in NLR where the Aerna sits now.
The store had the nerve to sell softdrinks for markedly less than a grocery store in WLR would sell the same drinks for.
Community leaders (from the neighborhoods near the Broadway store ) complained loudly and bitterly about it.
Its rather astonishing that Erma would think a more diverse transportation infrastructure and one that slows auto traffic down in congested urban areas is a bad thing. Me thinks Erma is out of touch.

Re: “Efficiency program from Entergy Arkansas could save you money”
What's the saying? If it sounds to good to be true - it usually is.
