I do not think that this act is specific enough in its criteria for when existing protected bike makes merit being removed. That is expensive process, in both people's time and taxpayers money, and this government should put more effort into clarifying these criteria.
Second, I do not think this legislation considers either the safety of cyclist commuters, nor the impact on cities' economic prospects adequately.
The premise here, that removing bike lanes at the expense of mixed traffic lanes is better for reducing commute times for drivers, is assumed rather than demonstrated. Studies by local BIAs show that bike lanes have helped businesses along streets with these lanes, is the government justified in reducing their customer base at the expense of a possible reduction in commute times for some?
In short, this bill seems like it is not ready to be made law.
