    Looks like the judge is reversing it based on nothing but carbrain, calling the bike lane “arbitrary” and “capricious”. Looks like this whole court is out of order.

      The key words I pick out are “in violation of lawful procedure”. I don’t like this choice either, but it looks like the city took a shortcut

        Ah I didn’t see that part, thank you.

        Yeah the judge doesn’t sound so wrong any more.

        I guess it depends on if DOT actually violated the law or the judge is ruling on a stretch. I wish had more details.

          No kidding. All too often even clear looking articles seem to have important details missing

      I’m pretty sure there’s gonna be an appeal. The judge gave 30 days before the order must be executed. He also denied all of the other claims.

      This is not a ruling that should be difficult to get reversed on appeal
