Removing bike lanes and…

Removing bike lanes and expanding highways is one of the stupidest things the government could be doing right now. Many studies have been done that in fact show that building walkable cities, complete with protected bike lanes and safe sidewalks, REDUCES traffic congestion. Studies have also been done showing that expanding highways does not reduce congestion and often creates more traffic through induced demand, while being a huge financial liability that future generations will have to pay to maintain. I wholeheartedly oppose this bill. I would like to see the government doing more to encourage building transit, bike lanes and safer streets and this is a huge step in the wrong direction.
