I meant to ask about that 'prevention of planning for bike infrastructure' thing, and now I'm curious about the details. If the injunction forbade, say, physically-separated bike lane planning - even in only an EIR, then what would have been the criteria to allow the judge to make that prohibition? Or was it just a matter of us/the City saying, "Ah, don't worry about planning for real bike infrastructure because we can't do it anyways."? Thanks for the info, mcas.

It just means that the city was not allowed to have been planning projects including these during the injunction. Post-injunction, the city can plan and implement anything, regardless of what was included in that EIR.
