Leave our parking alone. WTF is wrong with you people?? You ruined the quality of life for everyone by creating these stupid bike and bus lanes, causing traffic and then blaming us for congestion. It’s time for a lawsuit.

How will anyone shop on Grand?

So much for supporting small businesses!

WTF ! I always swore by this city but now it/they suck. Why do they feel it necessary to keep screwing up our streets. Bus lanes, bike lanes, what's next ? Don't they see that it is just making the congestion worse ot better.

What a joke! The city is really encouraging people to leave.

More ways to ruin neighborhoods.

Why even ask? All these surveys are BS. The people it effects have no say. The experts that don’t live here will get their way. Not the people it affects on a daily basis.
