Bicycle lanes ease…

Bicycle lanes ease congestion by getting people out of their cars year around. Safer the bicycle lane the more people use it. (Paint and plastic posts do not make safe bicycle lane). Bicycles are smaller and more efficient moving though cities and do not cause congestion so you rarely see more than a few at a time, even though many more bicycles pass through an area than cars in the same time period. If this bill passes we will have worst congestion in our cities in a few years and there is no amount of extra lanes that will fix it (see induced demand). Only fast and efficient transit with dedicated lanes and bus first traffic signaling as well as bicycle lanes will.
