It is now “later”
Jumping off from the previous comical quote (Thanks Dave!), it is clear that as traffic planners begin to amend the built environment, opposition will continue to be a constant obstacle that must be dealt with in a responsible and sympathetic manner. Press releases from transit departments & firms acknowledging the public’s concern are commonplace. At some point, however, planners assert themselves with progressive capital campaigns. 
Public disapproval, of which the traffic planner thoroughly considers, but (as human nature would have it) protects the status quo of automobile dominancy, is rejected in order to usher in a new era of mobility (pompous language, yes, but fitting, no?)- Exhibit A: (Shutting down the Great White Way). « Not a diatribe against the automobile (of which there are not enough hours the day for me…), but a statement of fact that acknowledges just how ingrained in our lives the personal vehicle has become, affecting more domestic decisions than few realize.
With such “concern” over improved parking deliniation in Queens, one can see the impending struggle to implement bike lanes or bio-retention swales to existing roads…
I told you things were gonna get DRAMATIC.
