While one thought of dotiderblog is just to retire and fade into the background and then resurface once the bike share becomes the fiasco we think it will be, we’ve decided to hang around and review how we got to a bike share…. Were there extensive surveys to see if there was a constituency? Not that I saw… Was there tons of public process (hearings) to get resident feedback? The only hearing I attended I was shouted down by Councilor Connolly and told I was out of line, but as yet I have not been presented with a public forum to present my views… So who decided Boston needed a bike share? It wasn’t a grass roots uprising of local activists. Apparently there was someone pushing the agenda that got Nicole fired up. Are you out there? Can you explain why this idea makes any sense when our infrastructure is pathetic and regular riders are not getting the service they need? We won’t hear from you, because you’ve won and we just have to live with the consequences. Thanks a lot!
