City high-schoolers Devon Youmans and Miya Brooks looked into enforcement of bike ordinances and the impact of having bike lanes in East Rock and Westville but not other city neighborhoods.
The pair prepared their report as part of their work on the “Reel News” project, a collaboration between Youth Rights Media and the New Haven Independent.

I wish he had asked the cop why the rest of the force has no clue. On one block they shout for me to get out of the road, on the next they shout at me to get off the sidewalk.
They need complete enforcement. Not this half-assed approach they seem to take.
A bike runs a red light, that's illegal.
A car refuses to give proper clearance (2' or 4' I forget what it is in NH) that's illegal.
You have to say: "Mr. Officer Sir, why the hell don't any of you guys know what they hell you're doing? Why do you selectively enforce the law? The law is the LAW isn't it? Don't you think the right hand should have some clue what the left hand is doing given that your job is apparently an important one?"
Bike lanes won't correct stupidity.
