Bike lane infrastructure is…

Bike lane infrastructure is crucial for our province. I am against removing bike lanes. Bike lanes will not reduce gridlock because cyclists will have to take more space on the road for personal safety. Removing bike lanes also works against the province's goal of increasing housing by making it so more people have to drive a car. This increases the demand for parking within housing properties and increases the cost of development. I am both a cyclist and a driver. I am against the issue of bike lanes being portrayed as a bike vs car issue. This is an issue of safety, the environment, and the financial costs of removing already installed infrastructure. The decision needs to be data-driven and the data need to be objective not cherry-picked.
