No, it just happens that the city I’m talking about has a mayor that has done a bunch of traffic “reforms” for political reasons without thinking or professional guidance. She basically made half-hearted attempts to improve bike traffic (which were not really improvements, neither for bikers, nor for everyone else), didn’t do squat for public transport (except that the central bus station is now way worse, and she wants to “start planning an overhaul” in a few years), and the central traffic pipeline, the city ring, is now broken.
