I pay almost 50% in my taxes and I am very happy that bike lanes exist in our city.

The reason for increased traffic is not because some car lanes have been converted into bike lanes, the reason for an increased traffic is because everyone has to drive in order to get to the place where they work. We have suburbs where people sleep and cities where people work. We will never solve our traffic issues in so far as this configuration remains.

What will end up happening is that we will remove lanes and very quickly find out that the traffic has not improved at all because bike lanes were never the reason in the first place.

Please, it would be a far better way to spend our tax money on increasing the supply of affordable housing. Bike lanes is not a priority and is not the enemy.
