Please let municipalities…

Please let municipalities continue to choose where they position bike lanes and whether they prioritize other forms of road traffic in certain areas.

Bike lanes provide huge positive impact to businesses, the health and safety for cyclists, as well as the health of others and the environment by reducing the number of cars in the road.

Although some people are comfortable biking in traffic if there are no bike lanes, many people give it up if there isn't a dedicated lane for fear of their safety. This is completely understandable in big cities, where there are quite often distracted drivers in phones, aggressive drivers, or new drivers who aren't yet familiar with all of the road hazards they need to be looking for.

Bike lanes provide enormous benefit to our communities, and not allowing local communities to decide where they go would be a shame.
