The removal of bike lanes will throw bicyclists back into the car and truck traffic flow increasing risk to both bicyclists and drivers. I have found bike lanes have improved traffic flow as we have one less thing to be concerend about This is especially the case a night when many bikes are not properly fitted with lights and riders are wearing dark clothes.tion and major road mainteance Adding bikes to this mix will be very dangerous to all

The congestion and agrevation to downtown drivers is caused overwhelmingly by building construc
