I’m writing to express my concern about the potential for added red tape that could hinder local governments’ efforts to enhance transportation options. As someone who relies on bike lanes every day, I see them as essential infrastructure, no different from sidewalks. Bike lanes provide critical options for vulnerable road users, promoting safety and accessibility while also supporting broader transit investments by making it easier to reach transit stations.

We should focus on ensuring safety and choice for everyone on our roads, rather than solely maximizing vehicle numbers. When I drive, I appreciate having dedicated bike lanes that keep cyclists out of vehicle lanes, benefiting everyone’s safety and efficiency.
