I do not support this…

I do not support this proposal for the following reasons:
- 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. Vehicles/drivers are not the only users of roads, nor are they more important than pedestrians, transit users, and cyclists.
- It undermines climate goals and public health by locking cities into car-dependent street designs.
