The idea to limit or abandon bike lane projects is going to
a) increase congestion, because cars will need to slow down to safely pass cyclists;
b) increase bike accidents, when cyclists take the lane, as they are legally allowed to do; and
c) increase pollution and accelerate climate change, as potential cyclists may not feel safe on the road and have no choice but to take their cars, putting more cars on the road.

Cyclists have to follow the rules of the road, so why are they treated as second class citizens.

Retract this decision, and continue to enhance cycling routes, as fast as we can. We cannot afford this backsliding in sustainable transportation.
