Please look into the research. Studies have proven that adding more lanes does not improve congestion in the long term. However providing alternatives - like a safe biking route - does improve congestion. This proposal will do nothing to improve congestion, and will simultaneously make the roads less safe for cyclists.
“in New York City… figures from the city's transportation department that showed in 2010, before bike lanes were installed on a major midtown thoroughfare, it took the average car 4.5 minutes to travel from 96th Street to 77th Street. After the bike lanes were installed, it took just three minutes — a 35 per cent decrease.” CBC
