Removing existing bike lanes is wasteful spending and will increase traffic (not reduce) by more people needing to drive, and cause more accidents and cyclist deaths. I’m also concerned about increased air and noise pollution that more cars on the road will create.
This is one of the worst ideas ever.
Removing the lanes takes resources, such as labor, materials, and money. How is spending money on this a priority? What projects don’t get completed as the result of bike lane removal?
Highway 7 between Kitchener and Guelph is still single lane in each direction despite incredible volume of daily car commuters. Money spent removing bike lanes would be better spent expanding essential corridors such as Hwy 7.
Where I live the presence of transit and bike lanes has reduced travel time in certain parts of the city, even with more residents.
Will municipalities be compensated for the money they spent on bike lanes?
