Taking away bike lanes is…

Taking away bike lanes is counter intuitive to the goal that is trying to be reached. By dedicating the lanes to cars it makes active transportation impossible and more dangerous. Cities should be focusing on solutions to allow people to have access to more space and time efficient solutions instead of forcing everyone to drive. By taking away these cycling lanes, people who would potentially bike are disincentivized due to the dangers.

Having protected bike infrastructure along major arteries will be incentivising users, having it on side streets will lead to half baked cycling solutions where it isn't efficient at all to use. The focus should be on creating seperated, safe and well thought out solutions which promotes the average person to cycle instead of taking a car. The more people taking transit / cycle to their destination means there is less people on the roads. This allows the people who need to be on the road to complete their trip with less traffic. Cities should prioritise people, not cars.
