Adding more lanes to cars does not reduce traffic congestion in the longer term, because of induced demand. When more roads are built for cars, the traffic will shortly default to this, and this will lead to more traffic and thus to more congestion on the streets. Bike lanes also save lives and are good for business by increasing foot traffic.
