As a frequent driver of downtown roads, my experience with bike lanes has been nothing but positive.
Prior to the installation of partitioned bike lanes on major roads, I was nervous to drive or park downtown, because it's easy to hit a cyclist even if I triple-checked my mirrors and blind spots. Now, I can drive and park with peace of mind because cyclists are in a different lane. I find myself getting to places faster and don't need to worry about ruining a cyclist's AND MINE day if I accidentally hit someone. Nobody want to get sued for hitting a cyclist.
If these protected bike lanes are removed, I feel the congestion will get worse because cyclists will be forced to share the road in precarious ways that make it difficult for drivers.
If you want to improve the road for drivers, please keep the bike lanes!
