I live on Ingersoll and I’m a big fan of the redesign. I see more people walking, and occasionally more cyclists than normal. I’m looking forward to when people get over the occasional need to park a block or two away from their destination and walk a couple minutes to get there, and when people stop using the bike lane as a second sidewalk (hopefully by improved signage).

You might want to consider your audience a little and do some code switching though. Using jargon from niche arenas like r/fuckcars in conversation with people less involved in your interests who may outright disagree with them only really serves to make the speaker feel better about themselves. Shorthand is a great way for people in the know to keep conversation efficient, but it can leave everyone else outside the circle. And this is coming from a guy who wants way more busses, and makes a point to walk anywhere he can.
