Abstract
In the United States, cars contribute to a bevy of health problems, constituting a large cost to U.S. taxpayers who must subsidize the medical treatment that stems from them. This Note explores solutions to this health problem by attempting to minimize the number of cars in urban spaces. In particular, it looks at reworking statutory funding strategies for bicycle lanes, calls for using certain types of bicycle lanes that will lead to wider utilization, and advocates for rezoning urban areas to promote density.
