“I strongly oppose the proposed plans to install bike lanes that will restrict parking and driving. While promoting alternative transportation is important, this plan creates significant challenges for residents, businesses, and commuters. Reduced parking will harm local businesses, and fewer driving lanes will worsen traffic congestion, particularly during peak hours. These changes disproportionately impact families, seniors, and those with mobility issues who depend on vehicles.”
Additionally, this plan jeopardizes the cultural experience of the area by limiting access to landmarks, events, and establishments that define its identity. Accessibility is vital for fostering community engagement and preserving its character.
