Bike lanes are typically seen as being environmentally friendly. But some Bay Area leaders say the one on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge is causing an increase in pollution.

"I've been here most of my life and I have a love for this city of Richmond," said resident Joe Fisher.

But what he hates is the commute across the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. He says he's tired of seeing cars idling endlessly, inching along the bridge with the bike lane empty, or - if not empty - at least under-utilized.
