A crazy number of people hate the bike lanes - “but they took a lane of traffic/parking away for the stupid bike lane no one uses!”

You're not wrong. But I feel the number of votes you would get from protecting the bike lane would be roughly equivalent to the votes you would lose. The calculation could work for someone who thinks bike lanes are the right thing anyway.

I’d vote for it. It’s actually one of the reasons I stopped hating on New Yorkers moving here. They are used to things/municipal services in NYC that I’d like to see here, so hopefully their vote can help upset the status quo
