This is a colossal waste of time and money. Removing bike lanes will cost taxpayers more than was spent putting them in the first place.

Bike lanes reduce traffic over time. They give people more options for the trips they are making. This reduces cars on the road. Less cars on the road means less congestion. If gridlock really is the problem we are solving, where is the focus on reducing the amount of cars on our roads?

Safety is a huge concern with bike lane removal. This bill does not account for the increased risk to people who will now be trying to use the same space as vehicle traffic. When Cyclists die, its more likely when they are competing for the same infrastructure (roads) as vehicles.

If this bill is really in favour of reducing gridlock to save time, it should be unacceptable that citizens be put in danger to save anyone even a single second of time. Convenience can’t win out over people’s lives.
