I do not agree with this…

I do not agree with this bill. Countless times when the issue of gridlock is brought up, the way out is clear, more bike lines, more transit. When you build more lanes, they just get filled and then the question is brought up again, why do we have gridlock.

The research is clear, keep the bike lanes, build more alternative methods of transportation. As a person who cannot afford a car in these economic times, the act of removing bike lanes is an attack on people like me who commute, do groceries, and get around by bicycle.

It's unfortunate that we've seen deaths of cyclists due to lack of bicycle infrastructure, by ripping out established paths, we're just going backwards and more people will be at risk.

"If you build it, they will come" applies to both sides of this equation, but only one side encourages more efficient use of roadways. If there's more car lanes, we'll be right back to a gridlock issue in no time.

Keep the bike lanes, focus on public transit.
