I oppose reducing bike lanes in the city. Investing in networks of protected bicycle lanes has significant potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower transport costs, prevent road fatalities, and improve the quality of life for people in cities around the globe. I support the construction of more bike lanes.

University of Colorado Denver has the most comprehensive study of bicycle and road safety to date (May 2019) finds that building safe facilities for cyclists is one of the biggest factors in road safety for everyone. Bicycling infrastructure -- specifically, separated, and protected bike lanes -- leads to fewer fatalities and better road-safety outcomes for all road users. See link attached.
