The complaint states that newly constructed bicycle lanes create barriers to safe, accessible on-street parking, curb ramps and pedestrian crossings for people with mobility disabilities, including those who use wheelchairs and walkers.

I brother has been hanging out on 17th Street, NW for about the last 40 years. It has very wide sidewalks in this section of 17th Street.
I noticed the article referenced a Dupont East Civic Action Association which appeared by name to be a local do good neighborhood association. Their website portrays otherwise.

Besides the lawsuit, they are calling for bike registration. And there appears to be a Brooklyn anti bike lane organization.

“In the interest of safety for all users of urban streets, we support the following:
Use of bikes in urban traffic be regulated; Cyclists obey traffic regulations and traffic regulations be enforced. We call for:
Formal education and training on how to use a bike on city streets and bike certification,
A requirement to wear helmets,
Registration of bikes used in city traffic and licensing of cyclists,
A requirement for bike insurance, as the insurance industry is skilled at collecting data and assessing liability,
A Requirement that cyclists carry their bike registration, license and insurance card, just as drivers do.
Requirements for renting bikes/scooters should be similar to car rental – including insurance”

It is clearly an anti development organization.
