I want to know how this will affect biking infrastructure in the city. I worry that by trying to reduce traffic on busy streets bike lanes will be taken away to make room for more car lanes. I am a frequent biker and commute to work every day by bike, and already feel as though there aren’t enough safe bike lanes in the city as it is. I believe that bike lanes reduce traffic by encouraging people to bike instead of drive. I hope that all of the bikers are being considered in these new plans to reduce traffic. Taking away bike lanes will not stop me from biking but it will make me feel a lot less safe. The number of biking accidents and deaths in the city is an issue that I think could be heavily reduced by ensuring proper bike lanes. While I am all for reducing traffic by creating more highways and lanes, I also believe more vulnerable commuters like walkers and bikers should be prioritized over drivers.
