Debate: Did the town's new bike lanes actually help or hurt local traffic?

I'm in Portland and our city just put in protected bike lanes on 12th Avenue last month, cutting car lanes from four to two. Now traffic is backed up for blocks during rush hour and a lot of neighbors are mad about it. Do you think reducing car lanes for bikes is worth the congestion, or are we just making things worse for everyone?

Give it a month people will get over it.

Do you really think people’s attention spans are that short with something this big? Stuff like this usually sticks around way longer than a month, especially when everyone’s still talking about it.
