We've seen that the more we build and design our cities and transportation infrastructure around cars that the more people end up driving. The best way to reduce traffic is to remove drivers from the road by giving them viable alternatives. Bicycle infrastructure provides a good first/last mile option for regular work commutes when combined with good public transport as well as a solution for shorter trips that would otherwise take too much time to walk to.

Removing viable transportation options will add to congestion no matter how many lanes get added, this has been seen in other cities and countries where the endless cycle of highway expansion and traffic. Investing in non-car infrastructure will give citizens more freedom of movement as well as allowing those who are unable to drive (children/teens, and the elderly) a safe and convenient way to travel. This will allow them to become more independent as well as save time and money for either themselves or their guardians.
