Please reconsider this proposal. This is a major step backwards just when the cycling infrastructure is starting to take shape and finally allow meaningful travel.

Not only that, but removing bike lanes just encourages more driving and does nothing to remove gridlock. The streets will fill up to capacity soon enough.

Moving bike lanes to side streets is also not a viable solution for cyclists. Just as drivers look for the fastest route, so will cyclists. After all, practically all cyclists are themselves drivers. A route on a side street with many stop signs and driveways may be fine for a leisure drive/ride, but will not be used for commuting or other purposeful travel.

This proposal does not solve the gridlock problem. It just encourages driving and discourages biking.
