Cycling infrastructure improves air quality and public health
Shifting even a small percentage of trips from cars to bikes significantly reduces:

particulate matter

nitrogen oxides

localized pollution along corridors

These health benefits reduce public healthcare costs, improve quality of life, and disproportionately benefit children, seniors, and low-income residents who live on high-traffic streets.

Restricting bike lanes is effectively a decision to prioritize air pollution over public health.
