This is a terrible plan. Bike lanes are an incredibly important part of our reducing traffic congestion. For bike lanes to be effective, they may sometimes need take space away from private motor vehicles. Not allowing this will create indirect, slow routes, which few people will use or benefit from. Ultimately, municipalities understand their community best, and it makes no sense for the province to be dictating where a city may or may not put a bike lane. This is also a massive waste of money on behalf of the province.

I can hardly afford rent. I can barely afford groceries. I certainly cannot afford a car. Public transit is slow and unreliable.

Please for the love of God do not take away the bike lanes. I have had too many near-death experiences biking on roads without bike lanes. Biking is the one mode of transportation which I can afford, which is reliable, which keeps me healthy, and which brings me joy.

Legislation like this is pushing Canadian youth out of this province. Why would anyone want to live in such a stupid province?

Do not ban the bike lanes.
