I support this. Removing…

I support this. Removing vehicle lanes for bike lanes will only increase gridlock in my community (Kitchener-Waterloo). I support adding additional hurdles to do so. I know local cyclists complain about the difficulties of getting around on their bikes. The fact remains that there are far more people using vehicles and removing traffic lanes for a few cyclists will clog up the roads more. There will not be hundreds or thousands of people flocking to use bikes instead of their cars with more bike lanes. It will be the same small group of people with a few extras using the lanes during nice weather. I have a bike. I also have three kids. Replacing vehicle lanes with bike lanes will drastically worsen traffic while making transporting my kids to and from appointments, extracurriculars, getting groceries, etc. more difficult. Even if I was able to get all three (all under age 7) on bikes, in a trailer, etc. I don’t have the extra time it would take to do everything by bike. More bike infrastructure at the expense of vehicle infrastructure is a BIG mistake.
