Sliwa said heвЂ™d also slash speed cameras. De Blasio has constructed over 100 miles of protected bike lanes during his seven-plus years in office.

Stefano GiovanniniД®arlier this week at an endorsement event by the bike and transit group StreetsPAC, Adams said he would add 300 miles of protected bike lanes across the city if heвЂ™s elected mayor. Sliwa said he would close bike lanes in the city that arenвЂ™t frequently used.

That would have to be eliminated,вЂќ Sliwa said. IвЂ™ve вЂ¦ barely seen a bicycle going in one direction towards the city or in the direction of Long Island. вЂњI canвЂ™t tell you how many times weвЂ™ve had visitation with my two youngest sons, weвЂ™ve gone to Queens Boulevard, small businesses have been crippled because thereвЂ™s no parking as a result of the bike lane and we sit there for like an hour. вЂњPerfect example, Queens Boulevard,вЂќ he said. And if youвЂ™re using it, you keep it,вЂќ Sliwa proposed. Every hour, how many bicyclists are passing by, whether itвЂ™s recreational, for work purposes, whatever. вЂњHave the Department of Transportation put a wire out and letвЂ™s look at the analytics. The Guardian Angel founder said his approach to bike lanes would be, вЂњIf youвЂ™re not using it, you lose it.вЂќ вЂњThis administration, the de Blasio administration, and clearly Eric Adams, if heвЂ™s elected, partner with Bill de Blasio, would want to continue this war on vehicles in the City of New York,вЂќ Sliwa said at a campaign stop in Manhattan. Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa vowed Thursday to end the cityвЂ™s вЂњwar on vehiclesвЂќ by removing bike lanes and speed cameras - in stark contrast to transportation policies promoted by his Democratic rival Eric Adams.
