I am disappointed to hear about this proposed bill with it adding additional red tape and bureaucracy to already glacial municipal processes. This is not in keeping with the principle of small government conservatism.
I personally find bike lanes simpler for drivers as I can avoid having to interact with bikes on the road at all. Its safer for them and for me to have their own infrastructure away from cars.
Finally, I think it would be a huge waste of money to tear these out while at the same time spending billions to build a new subway line that people can't get to after its built.
The attached article demonstrates that all adding one more lane would do is increase traffic and congestion. Besides, getting rid of the bike lane won't get rid of the bikes, they would probably ride in the street and cause even more congestion.
