The following is an argument made by a city council member regarding the implementation of a new bike lane initiative in the downtown area:
"The new bike lanes in downtown have led to a significant increase in bicycle traffic, which we believe will enhance local business revenues. Since their installation, surveys show a 40% increase in the number of cyclists in the area. Additionally, local businesses have reported that 70% of these cyclists express a willingness to stop and make purchases at nearby stores. Therefore, we should prioritize the expansion of bike lanes across the city to further boost economic development and support our local businesses."
