Reading the primitive ramblings of Mr. Branston helps me understand part of what is holding Memphis back. I'm sad to see that the mind of the senior editor of the Memphis Flyer is too narrow to comprehend the benefits of sound transportation planning.

I would think that in a city touted (couldn't think of a more appropriate word due to the mind numbing effects of tryptophan) as the poorest large city in the US, that bike lanes would be beneficial to the less fortunate that can not afford to drive a car as well as the "elite wealthy few."

It isn't Government's job to get people to drive cars.

No apologies to John Branston

Sometimes government makes it easy to cause one to wonder why it does not care about the quality of life of residents. For example: take a look at the last several decades of local land use and road planning.

After looking at what has happened in Cordova, Southaven and other areas with ever increasing gridlock and car crashes in spite of ever-widening roads, I feel a little like a Sierra Club fan.

In the process, Wharton has managed to destroy businesses along Madison Avenue.

"The intent of the plan is not to secure funding for every project, but, instead, to identify the opportunities that are available." Sure.
Why are you skeptical?
