Hello,

Thank you for allowing comments on this important bill.

This proposition disappoints me greatly. While I myself commute to work through automobile, and rarely cycle for recreation, I can see how this bill does nothing to alleviate the issues it purports to solve.
The science clearly shows that enhancing cycling infrastructure decreases traffic congestion over time by offering an alternative to driving. Cycling infrastructure takes vehicles off the road, while simultaneously improving public health, and reducing noise and air pollution. On the other hand, building automobile infrastructure without providing viable alternatives actually increases congestion through induced demand. Not only that, but this bill clearly oversteps the municipalities rights to make its own decisions regarding its design. This bill is really abhorrent in many ways, and I truly hope it doesn't go through.
