I don't understand the logic of this, let alone how much more dangerous our streets would be.
This bill would:
- Worsen traffic congestion, not reduce it. The government’s own experts have consistently said that bike lanes are not a cause of gridlock.
- 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.
- Strips cities of local authority and decision-making, even when projects are supported by evidence and local residents.
