Meanwhile, here in Austin, a recall drive has begun on the Mayor of Austin and one City Councilman who okayed the new regional toll road plan.
And the rest of the "metro" crowd is now pushing blight rail, metrorail, cable cars, trams, segues and bike lines.
Only a handful of bicyclists ever use the "bike lanes" and many of these are people trying to get an exercise workout, not commuters going to work.
Many of the stripped lanes have since been repainted.
In Amsterdam, the bicyclists actually have the right of way over pedestrians and they let you know it.
