I'm concerned that removal of bike lanes will have a negative affect on the health and safety of citizens. Removal of lanes means much higher risk to cyclist some of which must bike as their only affordable option while others may forgo cycling because of the risk of being hit by a vehicle causing a negative affect on their health because of the loss of physical activity. More people being forced to use cars also causes increased pollution. Environmental protections should also not be bypassed for short term gain to build a highway faster our environment must be protected for future generations.
