This decision to remove bike lanes is going to be a huge policy failure that will lead to increased deaths and injuries for cyclists, increased insurance costs for drivers as a result, increased disability claims for drivers from trauma and cyclists who are injured. Additional strain on healthcare costs.
Will contribute to congestion since bikes will be forced to share a lane with cars.
World-class cities are building enhanced bicycle networks and infrastructure which is also used by mopeds, e-bikes and standing scooters for commuters and by tourists and residents to enjoy the city.
