I like to think I'm critical, not hostile.

This article is about citizen group calling for a bike lane to be turned back into car lane. You know about induced demand yet? We here can't stop telling people about it. Well, there is an inverse effect just a bit lower called "reduced demand" in the article. Removing a car lane can increase the flow of traffic down the line - provided there are viable alternatives to driving.

So yes, removing a bike lane to add another to cars is bad, even if it was a car lane before. Discouraging driving by removing car lanes is a good way to de-clog this bridge.
