What is wrong with 'Complete Streets'?

Commercial rental bikes
on city streets

Eliminate parking spaces, make right turns difficult when located at the end of a block; the bikes are rarely rented.

Parklets - restaurant seating
in parking spaces

Eliminate parking spaces in busy commercial districts. Regular customers, seniors, and disabled drivers, can't find parking—reduced business volumes cut profits.

'Protected' Bicycle lanes
(cement dividers)

Eliminate usable street surface, shove parked cars into former traffic lanes, force cyclists and car passengers to cross paths, reduce two traffic lanes to one lane.

Parking to the left of bike lanes

Forces drivers to  open doors into traffic lanes, forces passengers to open doors into bike lanes, obscures vision of drivers turning from side streets.

Bus-only lanes

Reduce traffic lanes from two to one; forces traffic to pile up behind stopped cars waiting to turn.

Green paint on road surfaces

Repeats the bicycle excuse for reducing our access to publicly-owned streets.
