I write to note that the "objectives" at the beginning of this proposal seem to have nothing to do with the proposal. Nobody is proposing putting bike lanes on highways!

The only alternative explanation is that the Government believes that municipal roads should be treated as highways. In the past, this attitude has led to the destruction of walkable neighbourhoods, and a vast uptick in the number of fatal traffic collisions involving children and motor vehicles.

The Government should be focused on getting *all* road users to their destinations in a timely manner. Private motor vehicles represent the least efficient use of the road, and other forms of transit---including biking---are frequently a better use of space.
