This law to prohibit removing traffic lanes prevents local government from functioning efficiently. It creates red-tape and slows down the transportation and urban planning process. We should let municipalities who know their unique traffic conditions best make the appropriate decisions. Such blanket prohibitions lead to poor urban planning and could also have an impact on safety. It is quite rare that traffic lanes are removed and local politicians will be answerable to their constituents in this case. Restricting their capacity to make these decisions is anti-democratic. In addition, in some cases this could be a safety issue where citizens; motorists, cyclists or pedestrians are at risk unless adjustments are made.

Please cancel this unnecessary and damaging legislation.
