Over the past 10 years, as bike lanes have increased, I’ve felt it much safer to ride to work and now do daily. It used to be a scary commute. Removing them will make things less safe for me and I worry about my child losing her father.

Removing bike lanes will add more cars on the road and increase congestion. I also drive in the city and feel drivers pain. But there are much better ways to improve that. We need to stop construction companies taking whole lanes out for years just to have convenient parking. We need to stop cars clogging intersections with higher fines.

We need to teach bikes and cars to live better together. It’s two ways - some cyclists flaunt the law when cycling (running lights and illegal lane crossing), and a concerted effort to crack down on that may appease drivers more than dropping $50m on taking out some lanes.
