Ughhhh. I don't feel safe biking without bike lanes. The less I bike the more cars are on the road. Even when I'm a driver I feel safer when the bikes are in bike lanes!! I hate navigating a road where cyclists are not separated from traffic. :( Some less personal reasons I am against this bill:

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 ownexperts 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.
