This is an extremely short-sighted and counter productive piece of legislation. Various studies, conducted in various locations around the globe have shown that providing dedicated cycling lanes that efficiently (read - directly and not winding through secondary streets) effectively lower congestion, not raise it.

In fact, contrary to the message being broadscast to the public, they have improved in some locations.
Please, for the sake of creating a livable province for now and for our children, stop this counterproductive piece of legislation.
