Bill 212 is shortsighted and goes against all science-based evidence:
- Bike lanes are good for traffic. They reduce the amount of people on cars, and therefore are good for avoiding gridlock. The cities where it is best to drive are cities that have strong bike lane systems and strong public transport systems.
- Bike lanes are key in achieving climate targets.
- Increasing traffic lanes does NOT reduce congestion. One more lane will not fix congestion issues. This is perhaps the longest standing insight from transportation studies.
- Bike lanes contribute to local economies and making streets more attractive.
- Bike lanes are key for road safety for everyone.
