I am appalled by the lack of foresight and, frankly, pure pigheadedness behind this proposed legislation. I have used cycling as my main mode of transportation since the late 90s, and have seen the numbers of cyclists increase as car traffic and transit delays made it often the fastest way to travel. As more lanes have gone in, more people have taken advantage of the safety they provide. By cycling, each of us is potentially taking a motor vehicle off the road and doing our part to reduce gridlock - which I thought was the goal. How is putting more cars, buses and streetcars back on the road going to save us time? This isn't even factoring in how much money it's going to cost us hard working taxpayers to remove already existing infrastructure. This bill is absolute nonsense.
