Bike lanes are essential in the fight against climate change. They reduce pollution, providing a net-zero mode of transportation. Removing bike lanes forces cyclists, who rely on safe routes, to return to driving, which increases emissions. This proposal is going to lead to serious injuries and even fatalities among cyclists.
