More Drive Lanes, Less Efficiency
More asphalt doesn’t mean more access. Despite adding lanes, cars still move fewer people per hour than bike lanes or sidewalks. This choice prioritizes throughput over livability—serving commuters flying past the neighborhood instead of the people living in it.

Shrinking Sidewalks, Shrinking Culture
Wider sidewalks invited strolling, gathering, and cultural expression—like dance, music, and street vendors. The rollback narrows public space, squeezing out the vibrancy that makes our neighborhoods special.

Greenspace Removed
Where there were once shade trees planned and planted medians, now there is heat and concrete. Removing greenery doesn’t just kill beauty—it kills comfort, increases urban heat, and harms pollinators and air quality.

Eliminated Bike Lanes, Disconnected Communities
Removing protected bike lanes cuts off students, workers, and families from safe, low-cost ways to connect. It disproportionately affects those who rely on bicycles to access school, groceries, work, and loved ones.
