Culver City in California has voted to eliminate designated bike and bus lanes to make way for more car lanes, despite opposition from residents and public transport advocates.
The protected bike lanes and dedicated bus lanes were part of the 2021 MOVE Culver City project that aimed to prioritise safety and green transportation.
The decision to remove them was taken in a 3-2 vote, despite the opposition from numerous elected officials, students and residents who emphasised the importance of sustainable transport. Bike Culver City tweeted that despite the setback, the future of green transport is on the community’s side.
