Bike Lanes Are a Waste of Space

In another example of the stupidity of Los Angeles's traffic department, not only did they install bike lanes where none were needed. They added medians in the middle of the road. Often these fake "center dividers" are just in the middle of the street with no use other than to collect dust. Both Capital and Westmont streets have medians, wasting a whole lane. And on both streets no one will every use them because there are no turn in, turn outs, or homes to use them. These medians cause the removal of a lane that can be used to move traffic along and keep our environment cleaner by reducing the number of stops and starts at stop signs. There was a reason why the folks above Western voted themselves out of San Pedro and Los Angeles. Maybe San Pedro should vote itself out of Los Angeles.
