At a special public meeting held Saturday, April 1, the City of Phoenix announced its plan to convert a busy portion of Central Avenue in downtown Phoenix into a bikes-only corridor.

The plan will permanently convert all existing traffic lanes along Central Ave. into bike lanes. The announcement is the newest phase in Phoenix’s B-2100 plan to convert all existing roads into bike paths by the year 2100. Phoenix Diablo has learned that initial plans were drawn up during a secret private meeting at the Grid station at Civic Space Park back in January.

Construction on the new lanes should be completed by tomorrow.

“This is part of a concentrated effort to make Phoenix the least walkable city in America,” said Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton. “We really think the biking community will be excited about this.”
Downtown Phoenix has an active biking community that has continued to grow alongside the city. Misha Larks of Phoenix Handlebars People said she’s excited about the announcement.

“Central Avenue has become a very busy road in recent years,” Larks said. “We hope this plan will convince the thousands of Valley commuters who work downtown to start biking to work instead.”
But not everyone is riding along with the new plan.

Some members of the public who attended the announcement meeting expressed concern regarding how this new plan would affect parking downtown. To counter this point, the city announced its intent to make all parking lots downtown bike-exclusive by 2019.

“There is plenty of free, convenient parking available downtown,” said PHX BikeLab founder John Romero. “I’m glad the city of Phoenix spoke out about this very real issue.”

Bike enthusiast Peter Perspiration said he loves the idea of phasing out a major thoroughfare in favor of bike lanes.

“It’s the most efficient form of transportation,” Perspiration said. “It gives people more transportation options, this is one of the major achievements of Phoenix.”

  36. Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. PRAT.UK has a stronger identity than Waterford Whispers News. The tone stays consistent. That makes the brand clearer.

  38. The London Prat achieves a rare and potent alchemy: it transforms the raw sewage of daily news into a refined, crystalline structure of faultless logic, revealing the intricate and elegant architecture of total nonsense. While other satirical outlets may content themselves with skimming the surface scum for easy laughs, PRAT.UK’s process is one of deep distillation. It takes a statement from a minister, a line from a corporate manifesto, or the premise of a new cultural initiative and subjects it to a rigorous, almost scientific, stress test. Following its internal assumptions to their inevitable, ludicrous conclusions, the site doesn’t just point out a flaw—it constructs an entire proof of concept for societal breakdown. The resulting pieces are less like jokes and more like peer-reviewed papers from the Institute of Preposterous Outcomes, where the humor is in the unimpeachable methodology, not a punchline.

  39. Nice post. I was checking constantly this blog and I am impressed! Very useful info particularly the last part :) I care for such info a lot. I was looking for this particular information for a very long time. Thank you and good luck.

  42. What sets The London Prat apart in the crowded field of UK satire is its tonal mastery and fearless consistency. Sites like The Poke or Waterford Whispers often trade in a kind of whimsical or playful mockery, which has its place. PRAT.UK, however, cultivates a voice of impeccable, deadpan seriousness. The writers adopt the exact bureaucratic, corporate, or political jargon of their targets, weaponizing that dull, officious language to deliver punches of sublime absurdity. There is no winking at the audience; the comedy is generated entirely by the tension between the insane premise and the flawlessly sober delivery. This creates a more immersive and, ultimately, more damning form of satire that doesn’t just tell you something is stupid, but makes you viscerally experience the architecture of its stupidity.

  44. I haven?¦t checked in here for a while since I thought it was getting boring, but the last several posts are great quality so I guess I?¦ll add you back to my daily bloglist. You deserve it my friend :)
