The city and Bike Fed literally didn't know that the SCERB was taking this up until the day before. And they had no idea that Fred (and Dianne Hesselbein, who should also be very bike-friendly) would vote against the proposal. Several people called Fred's office before the meeting and were basically turned away. Fred's position has more to do with the opinions of the other residents of his building -- at the corner of W Mifflin and Wisconsin Ave -- than with the opinions of bicyclists.
It's sort of frustrating that the folks in that building first complain bitterly about people riding on the sidewalk and then strongly oppose the solution that would keep a good majority of the bicyclists off the sidewalk.
