I am against removing the existing bike lanes. More people biking means less people in cars. If you take out the lanes, you either force cyclists into regular traffic (slower behind a cyclist, or more accidents that can seriously harm/kill cyclists), or make them get into a car instead. Removing the bike lanes will cost millions of dollars and waste more time by putting these roads back “under construction.” Bike lanes make it safer for everyone and reduce traffic. The government should spend more money on public transit and more bike lanes to reduce the number of people driving. That is how you reduce traffic.
