As a resident of university…

As a resident of university ave, I am absolutely appalled by the plan to remove the existing bike lanes. I previously drove to work every day but now I use my bike 95% of the time year round. It is faster, safer and a great way to get exercise. On the days where I take my car, there has been no increase in travel times whatsoever. Ripping up something that is clearly working is an absurd waste of taxpayer dollars. The government should focus on actual issues such as improving the economy and leave bike lane decisions to local planners.
