This is an Orwellian…

This is an Orwellian situation because you don't eliminate bike lanes to reduce gridlock - reducing bike lanes will INCREASE gridlock. It's not just obvious to the eye and basic logic it has been proven time and time again in studies throughout the globe. It has been proven with hard data that local businesses benefit from bike lanes. It has been proven that cyclists - and motorists - are safer when there are protected bike lanes.

Take out bike lanes and what happens? Some cyclists continue to cycle but they are now in regular traffic lanes. That doesn't help traffic and is not safe for the cyclist and the cyclist is now travelling slower than they would have otherwise. Other cyclists use their car instead, adding to gridlock. What did you expect?

You have to be insane to think that removing bike lanes would reduce gridlock. I expect my government to make decisions based on facts and evidence and logic, not emotional outbursts that make no sense. This proposed act is both obscene and absurd.
