This is the dumbest policy…

This is the dumbest policy proposal I’ve seen from this government and totally antithetical to all evidence from around the world, and from what’s actually happening. Talk to urban planners, talk to EMS providers, they support the increased efficiency and economic impact of removing cars from the road and prioritizing safer transportation for all road users - pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and more. We certainly don’t want cyclists on side walks, but we have to give them safe places to ride. We need to promote people getting out of cars. Much of the slow traffic is not from bike lanes but from cars waiting to turn due to other road users and road design. I’d rather be like Paris, France than an American suburb. This is the dumbest proposal which any study would tell you without much digging.
