I see this proposal as a step backwards. Cars, many, if not most of which are single occupant, should not be controlling our policies on gridlock nor transportation. Enabling, even better, encouraging bicycling has so many benefits beyond environmentally friendly transportation. The health benefits of a fitter population, noise reduction, pollution reduction, fossil fuel reduction, to name the obvious all point towards making policies which reduce vehicles, not hinder bicycling. Priorities need to be public transportation and bicycles and using space left over for cars. Use tax money to give people viable options to cars will do more for the long term traffic congestion and provide many benefits. Perpetuating the problem by catering to cars only exacerbates existing concerns and perpetuates a bad option. Every effort should be made to reduce vehicle traffic.
