It seems 18 million dollars…

It seems 18 million dollars to undo bike lanes is a gross misuse of public (taxpayers') money. The funds could be used more productively to fund housing, health education or anything that has a positive effect on citizens. As a driver, I find that the existence of bike lanes has reduced my use of my car and increased the use of my bike. So at an individual level, I have contributed to the de -congestion of roads, while increasing my health and fitness and decreasing the pressure of care in an overstretched public health system.
