자전거도로를 없애려는 트럼프가 법원에 의해 제지되었네요
🚨 Remember the D.C. bike lane the Trump administration started tearing out back in March? The cyclists won.
In April, federal judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled that the decision to remove the 15th Street protected bike lane was "arbitrary and capricious" and blocked the project. The lane stays. Before the government can try again, it has to run a real public input process and actually study the safety impact.
The Washington Area Bicyclist Association filed suit within days of construction crews showing up, and the data was always on the riders' side. A D.C. Department of Transportation study found all roadway crashes dropped 46% after the lane went in, and bicycle injury crashes fell 91%. Car travel times improved too.
The government could still appeal. But for now, the corridor running from the Tidal Basin to Columbia Heights is safe, and thousands of daily riders keep their protected route.
Proof that showing up, signing petitions, and lawyering up actually works.
