Protected bike lanes are a mandatory part of the infrastructure required for people. There are many peolle who are unable to drive or have access to a car and especially within urban settings, bike paths can provide the space for mobility scooters and other non-motor vehicular transportation to make the city more accessible in addition to actual bicycles. There is a long list of studies about the importance of providing alternative to driving to reduce road congestion due to induced demand. Dont ignore evidence based city planning for populist policies that make lives worse for the residence who live in the city. Furthermore, I don't understand why the province is weighing in on a municipal issue. That is entirely anti democratic and without just cause. This implies that people who aren't living in that area are making decisions for the people who are directly affected and that is a tyranny of the majority.
