Sheldon Silver and Rob Anderson have a lot in common.Whether bike lanes pose formidable barriers to driving is debatable and context dependent. However, this opinion piece ignores decades of research demonstrating that increasing barriers to driving actually decreases congestion. On this there is near consensus.
Thus, Rob Anderson is simply flaunting his ignorance for the world to see.
San Francisco saw a dramatic decline in street traffic after the 1989 earthquake wiped out the main freeway artery running through the city. Bike lanes will produce a similar effect as more folks move to public transit.
