"We don't want to remove it fully, just in the morning commute."
#Wondering how they think the bridge length of concrete bollards will be moved and returned for two hours each morning#
Driver logic: "I hate sitting in this queue of cars! There is a perfectly good bike lane right there! Let me use it!"
Logical logic: "Get on a bike and use the bike lane."
Government logic: "Bike lane has to go. We should also widen the bridge for more cars."

Shurely "Outcome - two tribes, Mad Max on one side, Premium Rush / John Forester on the other".

For those who just couldn't be @rsed
(SPOILER ALERT!)
But the lane isn't closed to traffic. It's closed to motor vehicles.
