Bike lanes save lives…

Bike lanes save lives. People in new developments have to increasingly rely on cycling for commuting due to lack of parking spots. This is not a bad thing but it's the government's responsibility to ensure a safe commute for all. As a biker myself, it is truly terrifying biking in areas that have no bike lanes with cars speeding by and not always watching for cyclists. I deserve to start my work day with an adrenaline boost from a pleasant bike ride (which I do year round) and not stressed from trying to avoid being run over by a car. Cycling contributes to residents' health and well-being and reduces the number of cars and the crowding on public transit during peak hours. The government should be promoting more opportunities for safe bike commuting, not spending our hard earned tax dollars to tear down the whole infrastructure, costing a staggering 200M+. This is simply unacceptable. This will be blood on your hands if you remove bike lanes. Treat carefully.
