Removing bike lanes will not reduce traffic, getting rid of bike lanes does not get rid of bikes, it just leads to them sharing the lanes of traffic with cars, further impeding then during the commute. We should be working on making biking and other car alternatives more appealing to get more cars off the road, not encouraging more cars in a space that isn't built for it. What does adding this extra lane of traffic due when it will consistently by blocked by cyclists or parked cars?
