I entirely agree with this proposal! Yes, many people are biking today, but the main type of transportation is and will continue to be a vehicle. We need to ensure vehicular traffic moves smoothly and quickly; replacing traffic lanes with bike lanes is not conducive to this. If there is room to add a bike lane by removing part of a boulevard or similar, that is fine but to reduce traffic lanes to add a bike lane is not reasonable or sensible. A better option would be for bikes to be ridden on sidewalks. For the most part, a pedestrian hit by a bicycle will suffer much less severe injuries than a biker hit by a vehicle. In conclusion, please don't remove any more traffic lanes to add bike lanes!
