This is absolutely absurd…

This is absolutely absurd. Of all the things the government can be doing to help citizens, how are you spending time and money on this? How about healthcare? Or public transit? Solve the real, and hard problems. We elected you to lead, not just pull off short-sited short-term populist BS. Act like the leaders we elected.

The evidence is clear that bike lanes do not contribute to congestion. This has been well studied globally. Now, I know you will discount those studies and discard them as flawed or misleading, or whatever.

So, let me ask this instead:

Show me one example, from any place in the world, from any time you choose where building more roads, or more lanes of traffic on existing roads had a lasting impact on congestion. Hint: it's never happened. Anywhere. Ever. Stop trying to tell us that you can build more roads to reduce traffic congestion. It's a BS idea, plain and simple.

Building more roads to reduce traffic is like putting on bigger pants to fix weight gain. It might feel like it works for a short while, but it doesn't solve the underlying problem at all.
