The "Framework for bike lanes" is misguided in both process and effect.
On process, local municipalities are best positions to make decisions about local and regional roads. Local councils are elected and accountable to their constituencies.
On effect, congestion is only solved with effective options to personal automobiles. Bike lanes and improved transit service (including dedicated transit lanes) provide options to many people to move in our cities, freeing road space for those who must use vehicles. These options also allow the many people who do not or cannot drive to also access jobs, shopping, and community connections. In addition, travelling by bicycle or transit is more environmentally friendly.
