Simultaneously, both Minneapolis & St. Paul have small groups of unhinged people railing against basic road construction, but using "bike lanes" as a talking point / fig leaf to obscure their retrograde inanity. The need to reconstruct streets is just a fact. No point in a tantrum. And yet...

All this convenience is built on the backs, and the lungs, and the ears and the pocketbooks of the residents of the East Side, Frogtown, Midway, Seward and beyond. Sure they can bike and walk near their homes, but they can hardly get anywhere else without driving through someone else's community.
