This bill is entirely about the comfort, the wants of drivers. The driver is not in danger, the driver is not blocked, the driver is merely forced to slow down.
The bike rider, however, has their safety actively targeted. More timid, perhaps wise, riders will not ride on a road with no bike infrastructure for fear of injury or death. This administration doesn't care. The rider NEEDS this infrastructure, the driver merely WANTS it.
Furthermore, this administration would spend taxpayer money to rip out very new concrete bike infrastructure. Infrastructure that incurs very little wear and tear like all bike infrastructure. To then put in more car infrastructure that we will have to repair in a fraction of the time. How exactly is this a conservative choice?
This move doesn't save us money. This move doesn't give us more options. This move doesn't make us safer.
