Ripping out bike lanes for…

Ripping out bike lanes for motor transportation only considers the motor vehiclist and not anybody else who commutes on these corridors. Protected bike infrastructure vastly improves cyclists' safety and gives people options for their commutes. Not everybody wants to drive, and removing these lanes makes driving the only option. We need more cars off the road. There is not enough space in the city for all these vehicles. We need to promote other forms of transportation in the city.

Removing the bike lane and adding another car lane will not improve traffic. It will simply just have more cars in traffic. The issue will be there. Give people options for their commutes and more people choose not to drive. Cycling in the city has been growing at a healthy rate and this will just destroy that progress.

Not to mention how expensive it will be to rip out these lanes and replace them with car lanes. Car lanes are expensive to build and to maintain.
