Here in Maryland, they built a new bridge that had a bike lane planned, then the governor unilaterally removed it. We're stuck with that decision for 50 years at least.
I said we should protest by riding across our every day, blocking the right lane (which was the "compromise"). The battle for that bridge is lost, but there's another bridge replacement on the horizon that's even more important for cyclists, and we need to make that point. (Bay Bridge)
