Please, do NOT remove bike lanes! Please ADD MORE bike lanes!

We do not need the added red tape to the process for communities to add more transportation options for the public. Do not waste our tax revenue on ripping out infrastructure that is already in place!

I want to use my bike more, but can't, due to virtually no bike lanes in my area forcing me to unsafely share the road with automobiles when I do make that choice. As a cost effective transportation option bikes are not going to vanish. Do we really want them to dangerously share road space with automobiles, or does it make more sense to provide them with infrastructure that safely integrates them with other road traffic?

What's next? Remove other essential infrastructure such as seldom used sidewalks to further cater to automobiles? Society as a whole needs more reason to leave their automobiles at home and use alternatives such as public transit and bike lanes. If we don't install and expand those networks then there are no alternatives to automobiles and congestion on the roads will simply remain.

Please, do NOT remove bike lanes! Please ADD MORE bike lanes!
