Anti-bike lanes Locals vs Cyclists

I wish we had bike lanes to repaint. But the basic issue of locals not liking bike lanes and preventing them from being built is a major issue in Maryland. If the logic DOT uses to minimize cyclists comments and maximize local comments is valid then no expressway could be built. We need to stress that we need a viable network for bicycle travel as much if not more so then cars. And it can be done with a lot less expense then over accommodating cars.
