Bicycle Austin forum

This forum’s roots date back to the very first bike email list in Austin, starting in 1994, and it played a part in the getting the segregated bike lanes you see all over town.  Be a part of history and make a post!

Texas could outlaw replacing car lanes with bus/bike lanes

Rep. Hughes' amendment to Article 7
"Rep. Bryan Hughes is proposing an amendment today that could hobble Texas' ability to provide safe roads for bicycling for decades to come. The amendment would prevent any state or federal funds from being used to reduce excess motor vehicle lanes for use as bicycle lanes or bus lanes. If passed, no state or federal funds, even those given to local areas as grants, could ever be used in this manner."

More information can be found on social media.
