I do not support the changes to bike lane frameworks. Bike Lanes are municipal jurisdiction, and should be kept under the control of cities. Additionally, I know many people who have chosen to bike rather than drive, because of new bike lanes. That's getting cars off of the road and reducing congestion. Lastly, cycle tracks save lives. These are people with friends, families, loved ones. I cannot imagine getting rid of life saving infrastructure to speed people up, especially when it doesn't even really speed people up! Most of these lanes are used for parked cars anyways. As an inexperienced driver, I find bike lanes more predictable, I know what will be there.

To reduce congestion I would appreciate more alternatives, such as better bike infrastructure but also, under provincial jurisdiction, more mass transit! I would like to see better transit funding and more lines to provide ways for me to travel without my car.
