I believe this policy is a misuse of time and resources for the province and should not go forward. Municipal roads that are the jurisdiction of the city should be left to the city to manage. As a provincial resident, I do not believe provincial officials should be spending time on activities outside of their jurisdiction. In addition, I believe that cycling is an efficient and effective mode of transportation and is most safely done when able to access dedicated bike lanes. If the program objective that this rule is aligned to is about reducing congestion and reducing accidents, the best way to do that is by reducing the number of vehicles on the road by creating safe alternatives for alternate modes of transport including bikes. And finally, I believe that if we are examining ways to make city streets less congested, the first priority should be to remove all street parking from arterial roads.
