removing a bike lane

[OakLeaf]

I rode a lot in Columbus when it had separated bike lanes. It's EXTREMELY dangerous. Everyone, without exception, was glad when they took them out. I thought you were just talking about paint markings. Separated bike lanes are a recipe for intersection collisions. Plus, since street sweepers can't even get into them, they fill up immediately with debris and broken glass and can't be cleaned except by hand, which obviously no one does.

As far as children ... I agree that there's a need for more places for children to ride, but that's not on the roads, period, end of story. We don't allow children to ride motorcycles on the road. Maybe we need more trails for kids to ride their dirt bikes, maybe we need more parks for kids to ride bicycles, but children just don't need to be piloting vehicles on the road.
