As a taxpayer I’m absolutely appalled that you will be removing bike lanes. It does not make any sense to remove already built infrastructure for no good reason and that it will cost so much to remove perfectly good infrastructure. I don’t understand how any of this makes any fiscal sense.

I ride a bicycle to get to my job in the financial district. It’s a 10 km ride where I can get exercise and it’s a low cost way to get around. I’m also a driver and a pedestrian. I appreciate when cyclists have a protected bike lane when I drive so I don’t have to second guess how much room to leave them when I pass and I don’t have to go into an oncoming traffic lane. It’s an efficient use of space for the roads to have to accommodate so many modalities.

This is truly appalling and makes absolutely no sense. You are literally taking something away and providing little to no benefit in return. I hope you reconsider and stop this nonsense.
