Kinda weird to see my hometown on Lemmy, but kinda fun I guess. I feel like the WDRB segment is slightly misleading because it doesn’t acknowledge the Big Four bridge that most affected traffic could take instead. It’s a toll road now, so I get why people, myself included, don’t want to take it. There’s also the Sherman Minton which might be an option but a little farther out of the way.

But also, yeah those two southbound, even northbound, lanes are pretty tight and can be a bit spooky to go over. Honestly seems like a reasonable safety improvement that people of kentuckiana will absolutely not be interested in.

Obligatory, fuck mike braun

Imagine this: instead of removing a full lane and just making the rest 33% wider, you remove that lane, make the car lanes 10% wider, and use the rest of the free space for a 2-way bike lane. There’s no way that 5 minute driving commute would be more than 20-30 minutes by bike. Less by ebike.

That bridge is a deathtrap.

Damn I thought this was regarding India what with the recent push for walk-ability; this is so fucking shameful.
