This is a giant step…

This is a giant step backward and solely a victory for drivers and politicians who refuse to acknowledge the wealth of research that shows that congestion does not get worse when bike lanes are added, and businesses benefit. We need and want bike lanes. They democratize the city. Removing bike lanes serves only to punish cyclists and those who can't afford cars, while giving motorists the entirely false belief that their commutes are going to improve. Entirely backwards thinking here. We have literally almost 10x the amount of bikeshare use that we did a few years ago. We have to stop thinking about doing everything for motorists.
