I strongly oppose this bill. Cities must be allowed to make cycling infrastructure a priority. Cycling must be a viable choice of transportation for the public, and without proper infrastructure, cycling can be extremely dangerous.
It is vital that we reduce the number of cars on the road, and there is no better way of achieving this than making bikes a more viable choice. Most trips taken by car are under 3km. There's no reason those trips couldn't be done by bike.
Removing bike infrastructure puts more cars on the road, and increases traffic. For the folks who still decide to travel by bike, reduced infrastructure greatly increases their risk of fatal accidents.
This bill would result in people dying, and all for the hope that drivers might save 1 or 2 minutes driving time
