Depends on the city. In Philadelphia, the opposite thing happened: proposed bike lanes along half of Washington Ave. were blocked by a city council member on the grounds that "only white people ride bikes" and "bike lanes cause gentrification." It was touted as an "equity win."

This councilmember is now the President of the Philadelphia City Council.
