Strongly disagree.
You are intelligent people, decision makers, so it fits that you already know the causes of congestion. You already know bike lanes are not the cause of congestion. You’re simply playing politics.
But I’ll play along.
Single occupancy motor vehicles are the cause of all congestion.
Countries and cities around the world have proven this time and time again. By turning their 2-4-lane roadways into 1-2 lane boulevards with walking and bicycle paths. By turning their downtown cores into pedestrian-only hubs. By investing in efficient and capable public transport routes and putting them on transit-only lanes. By incentivizing car-pooling.
It’s adding these elements that decrease congestion. Not removing them.
Taking these decisions out of the municipalities hands will cause further delays in action and will further politicize the decisions.
