This is a disturbing policy…

This is a disturbing policy choice that will result in so many unnecessary deaths. Bike lanes reduce traffic, they don’t increase it. The reasoning behind this decision is factually incorrect. As someone who was born and raised in this city and is an avid cyclist, I genuinely fear for my safety once the bike lanes are removed- and am disappointed in the province interfering with municipal jurisdiction. Biking is a cost effective, accessible, efficient transportation method. By removing bike lanes, the province is removing the access to a safe and reliable form of transportation. In addition, the province is ignoring and dismissing the significant health benefits and environmental benefits of choosing to bike over driving. This is an absolute shame and speaks volumes of the PCs priorities.
