This legislation is short…

This legislation is short sighted at best and potentially dangerous at worst. Keeping traffic lanes only encourages car usage(induced demand).. creating gridlock. The city is currently gridlocked not because of lack of road but because lack of alternative transportation infrastructure, which includes bike lanes. More bikes lanes should be built to encourage cyclists and keep them safe.. often the the only way to get around the city is to use major roads, and riding on a major road without a separate bike lane is exceptionally dangerous. We need to look to the future for alternative ways of movement around the city.. not look back to the car centric 1950’s… time to have forward thinking vision.. need to look to European city model, and ditch urban sprawl and the corresponding car centric thinking that goes with it. Let the cities handle their own local transportation solutions, they are the most qualified to do so.
