It hilarious to me that business owners still seem to think the city cares about them or what they want.
Why not make the bike lanes on quieter surrounding streets?
Driving through here sucks. Less parking and more mobility is good, actually
Yeah, go ride a bike there. Good luck with that
I am in San Jose and the main street in front of my complex went bike lane conversion from 4 lanes to 2 lanes (1 in each direction) a few years ago. The amount of traffic clog is unreal since the change. Yet, I only saw 1, exactly 1, biker since it got converted. I don't know what the officials are thinking. The US, especially the Bay Area, is not built for biking beyond an occasional recreation thing on weekends. These conversions will cause more harm than they realize. These business owners are correct that if parking becomes very difficult, people just won't come.
It was so hugely successful in destroying small businesses in San Francisco, they're going to give Oakland the same treatment!
Make it easier to mug people if they're on bikes instead of in cars.
I wouldn't park where I couldn't see my car to get food on grand.
Who wants to cycle in oakland or yet do anything in oakland
I don't know maybe the people going to Oakland critical mass
It doesn't jeed a bike lane. The set up right now works perfectly fine. I use the bike lane every weekend!
Amusingly, the smash and grab issue would be solved with a bike lane! 😂 And there are different types of bikes (ex cargo) to carry animals too!! Parking is already bad and dangerous on Grand today
Road diets suck 😢
Create underground parking structures!
Build the bike lanes!
It’s Bidenomics, Baby.
A bike lane makes it possible for more people to access your business it seems like a very unwise business decision to be against more people being able to access your business (and people that actually stop because people driving don't tend to impulsively stop to go into a business)
I’ve been riding a bike in SF and the East Bay since the 99s and I *hate* these “protected” bike lanes.
They have pedestrians, children, pets on leash and waiters walking across them serving food to people in parklets. Also they make it so now I have to watch for passenger side dooring from passengers who ate much less conscientious of the bike lane.
They suck so bad. I 100% avoid these stupid “protected” bike lanes
They are not safer
Id rather bike to the left of parked cars
If its only a dozen businesses being affected, Oakland can afford to lose them. Its not like Oakland puts in any effort for the other dozen or so that closed due to the encouragement in criminal activities from the city and their above and beyond approach in protecting the criminals while a certain community demands thst there is little to no presence of law enforcement. Adding to this pot of chaos, the city was please to throw out demands for closure during the "so called" covid crisis. Again, if its for this little bubble of community that the city tried really hard to attract then they can afford to not care for these businesses as it doesnt affect their bottom line. Culture? This area has none...it has always relied on the greater Oakland as its "uniqueness" but when anyone actually visits the place its nothing more than a copied image of any big decayed urban area.
Businesses are done in oakland anyway.
I will be more likely to buy a home where bikes and pedestrians are prioritized and less likely to buy where car traffic is catered to
Have fun owning a place in Oakland
Makes it easier for the Homeless to move around and for rip-off theives to steal more than they do now huh? Problem: SOLVED lololol
Look at San Francisco
Bike lanes are pointless with high rates of crime.
So crappy business owners are blaming bike lanes for their business failures
More bikes are able to get to your business over cars
People don't shop on bikes.
@@kirbywaite1586 I do most of my grocery shopping using my bike.
@@sdsk8rboi You're the one person. Most people can't carry enough groceries on a bike to shop for a family numb nuts, it works for a single loser with no family.
@@mrsleep0000 i got enough groceries on my bike for my family grilled up some tri-tip steaks that I bought at grocery store and transported on my bike
@@kirbywaite1586 i do stop lying
i watched the whole segment, didn't see 1 single bike on the road. Stop catering to the 1%. Do bikers shop more the car drivers? who can carry more items? Stop this madness. Address crime FFS.
Why would people bike there now in the current unsafe configuration?
@@sdsk8rboi Its unsafe because of crime.
how many bikes per hour did they count.
These poor business owners are intercoursed. I'd love to try one of that guy's sandwiches. What a great addition that store would be where I live. At this point, everything Oakland democrats do make things worse, which this will. This project is just putting lipstick on a pig.
I avoid downtown due to these bike lanes in my city. Definitely bad for business.
The business owners don't care about humans safety
Their greed only cares about money
Bike lanes? In Oakland?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
count on oakland to do the dumbest thing possible
Bike lanes are a plague on the whole Bay Area. Such a waste of space. They never get used, and absolutely ruin mobility.
There's no bigger waste of space in cities than cars.
@@sdsk8rboi Cars are necessary, bikes are an affectation.
@@sdsk8rboi To make it simple, bikes vote for low trust societies which require cars.
@@churblefurbles TF are you on about
gotta love how they waste money on something no one wants just becuase of policy.
