Bike lanes don't cause congestion. For goodnesss sake, I just want my sisters to be able to bike to school, and they can't do that now because cars are dangerous to bikes. Build bike lanes for young children, elderly people and mobility-impaired people so they can get around more easily without relying on cars.

This bill:
- Strips cities of local authority and decision-making, even when projects are supported by evidence and local residents.
- Will worsen traffic congestion, not reduce it. The government’s own experts have consistently said that bike lanes are not a cause of gridlock.
- Will make roads more dangerous. Protected bike lanes prevent serious injuries and deaths for people biking, walking, and driving.
- Threatens other uses of road space that communities rely on, including transit priority, safe crossings, patios, curbside access, and school streets.
- Undermines climate goals and public health by locking cities into car-dependent street designs.
