The city is not equipped for bike lanes - grid lock is a daily problem.
Bike lanes impede traffic flow- less street parking to shop in your neighbour hood- can no longer make a quick stop to pick up things at a store. No room for emergency vehicles to pass. Bikes do not pay for our roads and city maintenance. There is snow. Our city doesn't accommodate cars and bikes in the winter months- about 6months a year- biking weather is poor - compared to year use of a car. Shop owners are losing business because bike lanes are limiting the traffic and accessibility and it is more dangerous for pedestrians walk and crossing the street with this extra lane of traffic.
Our city infrastructure can not support more bike lanes at the expense of grid lock and local business.
