Taking away bike lanes is…

Taking away bike lanes is counter intuitive to the goal that is trying to be reached. By dedicating the lanes to cars it makes active transportation impossible and more dangerous. Cities should be focusing on solutions to allow people to have access to more space and time efficient solutions instead of forcing everyone to drive. By taking away these cycling lanes, people who would potentially bike are disincentivized due to the dangers.

More people taking transit / cycle to their destination means less people on the roads allowing the people who need to be on the road less traffic. Cities should prioritise people, not cars.
