What is up with those bike lanes as wide as traffic lanes on 8^th?

Seems rather wasteful?  When gov’t spends money like that & plead poverty & raises taxes, it is easy for citizens to get cynical  (separate buckets of $ explanation doesn’t really hold water, from taxpayer’s POV, all comes out of one pocket, theirs)

Any bicyclist with any survival instinct is on the sidewalks anyway. Except by UF & downtown, no pedestrians on sidewalk anyway. Bike lanes are a huge, expensive exercise in wishful thinking, including city mandated bike racks which largely serve as unused sculpture.

Any chance the City get rid of reserved parking spaces for Commissioners & Charter Officers? There are those who would say it sends a rather elitest message to employees/citizens.

The only reserved spots at TCC’s Home Office are for visitors.
