You're arguments for doing…

You're arguments for doing this are already based on a bias from a car driver perspective. If bike infrastructure was better more people will bike. If you make it worse, more people will drive and fill the new lanes. It has been proven and well established that adding lanes does not reduce congestion (e.g. Induced Demand). Please do some research before proposing wasting our money on this when those funds could be used on effective methods of reducing car usage, such as public transit and active transportation.
