Expanding bike lanes and bike-sharing programs encourages cycling as a sustainable and healthy mode of transportation. Proponents argue that it reduces traffic congestion, lowers emissions, and promotes a healthier lifestyle. Opponents argue that it can be costly, may take away road space from vehicles, and might not be widely used.

Yes, and there should be more protections set in place for cyclists on public roadways.
@9TNBDV81mo1MO
Yes, but the bike lanes should be on less travelled streets where practical, this would have a secondary effect of keeping cars off of smaller residential streets.
@9SLJBJV2mos2MO
Promote - yes. But do it where it makes sense rather than just for the sake of it. The most asinine construction of a bike lane was 10th Ave in Vancouver, hindering access to the VGH ER and The Blusson Spine Centre (to name a few). Last I checked people needing the ER or those with spinal injuries weren’t cycling to those facilities.
@9RZPX672mos2MO
no, bike lanes are dangerous and counter progressive for cities
@9RDS9RZ3mos3MO
I would prefer to see bike routes separate from the main roads, but understand this is difficult
