My problem really is not the 2,000 cyclists. It is the removal of the traffic lanes. First, lanes were removed to increase parking to slow traffic. Then it was bike lanes to slow traffic further. Now they are planning SBS and exclusive bus lanes to further slow traffic. The city is at war with the automobile, while doing nothing to improve mass transit. SBS gas not reversed the decline of bus usage where it has been implemented because it generally is not an improvement for most bus passengers.

It may be more expensive but using the islands for bus lanes would preserve more lanes for traffic and lessen traffic congestion, but the city is trying its best to increase traffic congestion so as to reduce driving without increasing alternatives.
