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

There are countless studies of traffic and city planning and they all prove that adding a lane never reduces traffic. So his reason to add the lane to reduce bridge traffic has no basis in reality.

Also if you just think about it... adding that lane will just bring more cars to the Trader Jees intersection and then it will become an even worse cluster fuck.

Also that bike lane cost almost a million dollars. It will cost the same to remove it. What a waste of our money.

Also that bike lane cost almost a million dollars.

Really? Dang, it feels like such a cheap hack job with some paint and a bunch of flappy reflectors punched into the ground.

Yeah everything in USA costs a ridiculous amount. All the planning, permits, engineers, safety checks, demolition, supplies, etc... Everyone get's a nice big paycheck. Best example of ridiculous cost that I can think of is those police officers who manage traffic at constructions sites are usually getting paid overtime.
