I believe the proposal is short sighted and reckless.

- Cities and their democratically elected representatives are in the best position to determine the needs of its residents. In Toronto, for example, bicycle-lane decisions have been well studied and carefully implement.

- As far as I can tell, there has been no investigation into the effects of slowing down improvements in cycling infrastructure, much less removing well-traveled bicycle lanes.

- As cycling infrastructure has improved, cycling has become an increasingly popular mode of transportation in the city. Having travelers switch from cars to bicycles and public transportation is an important policy vis-a-vis both the environment and creating livable communities.

- With additional cyclists on the roads, the removal of well-traveled bicycle lanes will result in needless deaths.
