Removing the bike lanes is…

Removing the bike lanes is such a terrible idea. They will just be replaced by parked cars in the right lane and left turning cars in the left lane making for a very stressful drive. A single lane for cars actually provides the space for left turn bays. A single lane also stops those pesky queue jumpers racing up the right lane when everyone else has changed lanes to get around the car illegally stopped to grab a quick something from the shop.

If you want to get traffic moving in the city step up parking enforcement during the peak periods and get ride of parallel parking on major roads. The bike lanes are not the problem.
