I believe this proposal is extremely misplaced. Municipalities are in the best position to make decisions on local transit options. The addition and inclusion of bike lanes provides a flexible, safe and green alternative to cars for transportation. Additionally, research has repeatedly shown that widening roads makes congestion worse. Well designed bike lanes can reduce congestion by making biking more appealing, in addition to promoting more foot traffic for local businesses. If this proposal goes through as planned it will be a step backwards, moving us further away from the more sustainable future we should all be striving for.
