I strongly oppose bill 212. The city has been making good progress on bike infrastructure in recent years and I’d hate to see us move backwards. Preventing the installation of new bike lanes is only a band-aid solution to the city’s traffic problems. More people biking will actually reduce traffic. And the best way to encourage more people to bike is to make them feel safe while riding.

Ultimately, what it comes down to is the health and safety of cyclists vs a mild inconvenience for drivers. The ethical choice should be clear.
