To recap what we know about the Monroe St. bike lane:
The pros:
The cons:
Options and alternatives discussed and reviewed:

This issue is not about removal of a bike lane but about the refusal to have public participation to help insure a more favorable outcome (the above needs to be public knowledge for this to happen.) (See https://www.baltimorespokes.org/article.php?story=20111029234335139 )
The issue is you do not have a right to an open government, you do not have a right to participate in transportation decisions that effect your *right* to travel under your own power (motorized travel is a privilege that has to be licensed and that privilege can be revoked.)
Accommodating cyclists has more options then any other mode of transportation. The fact that we lost an accommodation BEFORE an alternative solution could be identified I find offensive as heck.
