Comment
I oppose this bill.
1. Study after study has shown that merely expanding car infrastructure, in response to increased traffic, provides no long-term improvement to the issue of traffic and grid-lock.
2. Such action *encourages* more cars on the roads, compounding an already very serious climate problem.
3. Conversely, installation of bike lanes increases safety of those people on bicycles, thereby encouraging their use and removing cars from the roads.
A strong, bicycle-friendly infrastructure, combined with a strong public transport infrastructure will be the best path to reducing both traffic woes and further impact on climate.
