I got new bike lanes installed around the neogboirhood after I wrote to the local city representative about it, then went to a city where I did a PowerPoint presentation of all the places that you could get killed if the driver wasn't paying attention.
It took a month from first letter to new bikelanes.
This sounds like exactly the gumption we need to finally get the federal government to represent the common man.
Two people were killed in the next city within six months because no one bothered to fix their paths. One was a child.
If someone had bothered to write to that council they'd be alive.
But by all means, keep winning online arguments and doing nothing.

No I'm with you, I'm inspired. Let's fight them!
The speed of turn-around sounds impossible. That you are asking for bike lanes - which is already part of most local agendas - is more believable. I daresay if someone asked for the lanes to be removed, they would not get any traction.
