Well the answer is when you live in the world of Bruck Easton where bikes are really diesel fume spewing trucks and bike lanes are equated to 12 lane highways.

What color is the sky in his world? Is it green over a blue grass?

Of course diverting traffic to Wyandotte has nothing to do with installing bike lanes to Riverside. One could argue that traffic calming bike lanes will actually encourage more traffic to move to Wyandotte. Especially now that it has been extended with the bridge at its far east.

Some have argued here that this was simply a battle of individual homeowners to prevent city own land that was encroached on from being returned to the public.

The most important misstatement of this letter is that One street of Riverside does not make a neighborhood. The hopes and dreams of the residents of Riverside Drive do not supersede that of their adjacent streets who have every right to enjoy the streets in their neighborhood beyond their own.

What we now have is another connection between residents of Riverside Dr. and the rest of their neighborhood which they seem to think they have no obligation to.

A neighbourhood or neighborhood (see spelling differences) is a geographically localisedcommunity within a larger city, town or suburb. Neighbourhoods are often social communities with considerable face-to-face interaction among members. “Researchers have not agreed on an exact definition. Neighbourhood is generally defined spatially as a specific geographic area and functionally as a set of social networks. Neighbourhoods, then, are the spatial units in which face-to-face social interactions occur - the personal settings and situations where residents seek to realise common values, socialise youth, and maintain effective social control.” ^[1]
