Hi, I believe this bill is…

Hi, I believe this bill is detrimental to public safety and accessibility.
- It strips cities of local authority and decision-making, even when projects are supported by evidence and local residents.
- It will worsen traffic congestion, not reduce it. The government’s own experts have consistently said that bike lanes are not a cause of gridlock.
- It will make roads more dangerous. Protected bike lanes prevent serious injuries and deaths for people biking, walking, and driving.
- It threatens other uses of road space that communities rely on, including transit priority, safe crossings, patios, curbside access, and school streets.
- It undermines climate goals and public health by locking cities into car-dependent street designs.
Everyone in my house bikes to their school or workplace. These lanes are an essential part of what ensures our safety on the roads. This infrastructure is essential to our (and the community’s) daily life and wellbeing. Please consider not passing this bill.
