The five stages of

“They're just repaving. It'll go back to two lanes.”
STAGE 02
Anger
Member submits 41 comments to an online consultation portal.
STAGE 03
Bargaining
“Fine. Keep the bike lane. Just give me the left turn.”
STAGE 04
Depression
Member learns the side street shortcut. It also has a pylon.
STAGE 05
Relocation
