The tagine says it all "saving you time". This is literally a prioritisation of commute times for people who drive compared to the literal LIVES of people who cycle. I am completely opposed to this bill. Bike lanes don't create more gridlock, if anything they help decrease gridlock, AND they save lives. More bike lanes result in more trips made via bicycle (and fewer by car), which has a positive effect on the environment (reduced emissions) and on the health of both people who cycle (cardiovascular, mental health, etc. improvements and fewer injuries and deaths from collisions with vehicles) and people who live in the area (due to increased air quality). Restrictions on the installation of bikes lanes is 100% a move in the wrong directions. Further, control over decisions regarding road usage should sit with the people who actually live in the area.
