There is absolutely no…

There is absolutely no evidence that suggests the policies laid out in this bill will reduce traffic volumes in any meaningful way. It is well studied that adding an extra lane to a road in a growing city does not improve traffic after people adjust to the existence of the new lane.

This bill will however add a huge amount of unneeded red tape for cities when creating bike infrastructure, as well as waste already-spent taxpayer money and make it much more dangerous to those who primarily commute via bike, such as my elderly mother.

There is no good reason to support this bill.
