Bike lanes are critical infrastructure and need to be increased in cities rather than decreased. Bike lanes are PROVEN to increase the business of stores nearby them compared to parking spots. Moreover, cycling keeps people fit and healthy, reducing the load on the healthcare system.
Removing bike lanes does not convince cyclists to start driving, it just makes it more unsafe. This policy change will put people in danger.
During a climate crisis (which we are in right now), transportation policy needs to be focusing on reducing the number of cars on the road. Cycling infrastructure is an excellent way to reduce GHG emissions.
