Re:Bike Lane legislation
I think this is a sensible move. It seems like common sense that if you restrict the number of lanes on the road the flow will go down. Like a pipe.
Additionally, the emissions produced by a large number of idling cars wasting time in traffic jams should be evaluated vs. the emission savings due to the reduction in the ( small) number of cars taken off the road due to biking.
Finally the obvious point about winter, the number of winter bikers is tiny but the bike lanes still restrict traffic all winter, without taking anywhere near the numbers of cars off the road as occurs in the warmer months.
