I strongly oppose this policy. This policy will have the exact opposite of its stated purpose - it will increase traffic congestion by removing options for commuters in the city, while also increasing the number of injuries and deaths by making the streets less safe. Evidence does not back the decision to prevent the construction of bike lanes, nor their removal. The proposal to encourage the use of side streets for bikes is not practical as no side streets run parallel to major throughways in a way that would provide a serious alternative commuting option.
