Bike lanes are important…

Bike lanes are important. They reduce traffic and smog in the downtown core and give people a safe, healthy and carbon neutral way to get to work and around the city. Also, with the increase in ebikes they are used more and more for long range transportation and delivery services. An ebike can be safely parked in a small space while an order is picked up whereas a car would block traffic to stop and pick up the order. Bike lanes are good for the city, residents and good but businesses.
