As someone who works…

As someone who works downtown, I see the need for bike lanes. People ride to work and bike couriers move from business to business to deliver important documents in a timely manner. Add more cars to the road by expanding into bike lanes will make our streets less safe and if the government looked at any study worth its weight, they would see that there is only a short term gain in terms of traffic flow before added cars on the road slow the commute again. We need to think about the long term and the government only seems to care about the short term in order to get political gain. This like the 401 tunnel plan is very short sighted.
