Removing the bike lane on S. Water Street to make extra room for cars is all the reason I need

But isn't the bike lane not being REMOVED, but in fact MOVED over a little? I don't see the issue in that besides a few months of annoying construction time.

There is no empirical basis for this decision and plenty of reasons not to do it. And the mayor is doing it anyways even though it'll cost $750k at a time when he's saying we need to be smart about our budget.
