View submission: Improving walkability cost me an election
Madison WI is a platinum-level bicycle city and often gets high rankings on various “bests” lists but every single pedestrian or bicycle or transit improvement is met with allegations that the mayor is just trying to make it impossible to drive and force people from their cars. Businesses on the route said that the implementation bus rapid transit would destroy all of their business.

Former madisonian. It's been a lot of fun watching everyone on Facebook completely meltdown over the BRT. it's also very sad because they bill themselves as a progressive oasis but hate even the smallest amount of change. RIP State St /s
