I am completely against taking away bike lanes. First of all, bike lanes should be a municipal issue, not something decided by the provincial government. Each municipality knows their roads best and bike lanes best and they should be the ones deciding whether a bike lane should be built or not. The provincial government is just trying to add more red tape for people to pass through. Second, the prioritization of cars over more sustainable forms of transportation is terrible. As a young person in this province, it is absolutely abhorrent that the government is prioritizing cars rather than lifting up the more sustainable forms of transportation like bikes. It is proven with cities like Amsterdam that if you put the money into better infrastructure for people biking, that more people will bike places. Currently, my main reason not to bike, is the lack of safe bike lanes for me to do so. I absolutely oppose this bill.
