Bike lanes are a crucial feature of transit within our municipalities, and especially large cities. As a cyclist, I have experienced many close calls with motorists who have either not been paying attention while driving, or do not know the rules of the road. Just last night I experienced a driver aggressively driving too close and honking at me along a street that had been reduced to a single lane due to construction, despite following road signs. I also have my license and drive. Removing bike lanes will not only fail to alleviate congestion, it will also lead to more accidents and danger for cyclists. I strongly feel that investments in public transit and a focus away from car-centric infrastructure will ultimately be a better investment than this act claims it will provide. We need more bike lanes - not fewer!
