    Anyone can file suit. A judge needs to pass judgement. Hopefully the judge based it on something more legitimate than whining.

      Haha, how hilarious that you think that.

      In their suit, bike lane opponents, who include popular Astoria businesses like Parisi Bakery, Sotto la Luna and King Souvlaki, argued that the project would “jeopardize” the safety of cyclists and “increase the likelihood of injuries” to pedestrians — despite city data and mounds of research showing protected bike lanes do the exact opposite.

      Every decision against walkability is always a decision made based on the whinging of idiots

        Ha, I was also going to write “whinging” but I didn’t want to do any “cultural appropriation “. I never heard that word until I started working with some Brits but it’s an excellent one we should all adopt
