As a person who has used bikes to get around since childhood this saddens me. There were many times as a child and young adult that I had to make risky decisions while biking due to the lack of proper infrastructure. One of these leading to an injury due to confusion between myself on a bike, an ebike and a car all crowded together at an intersection due to lack of proper separated bike lanes.
As a mother now to two young kids,the increase in better and safer separated biking infrastructure has given me hope. Hope that my children will still have that freedom of movement around the community that I did but with less of the risks that I had to take.
This proposal to make safer infrastructure more difficult to add to a city, and even the removal of some of this is disheartening to say the least. I am beyond upset at this proposal.
