This is an asinine decision…

This is an asinine decision that is designed to hurt businesses along all bike lanes, not just carrier services including same day/hour parcel services, let alone meal services. But anyone who rides casually for meals, groceries, and alcohol.

Opening up roads to more cars will exacerbate traffic instead of reducing it as you could with more frequent mass transit like busses and streetcars.

If we were to re-introduce annual vehicle registration tags, I could understand the desire to increase road traffic to accommodate more revenue from vehicles. However with street maintenance as it is, bicycles have a lower impact than cars do.

We all know if there's consistent bumper-to-bumper traffic, the fastest method of travel is to get off the streets into a metro along the subway lines or to ride bicycles that can go past stopped vehicles.

Whomever thought of this backwards plan must have some sponsor, because this is as dumb as bricks.
