I have grave concerns with provincial overreach into municipal matters here—municipalities have different needs and should be able to address them. Beyond this concern, all relevant data show that safe bike lanes encourage cycling and thus lead to fewer people in cars and reduction in traffic. Adding lanes simply creates more traffic due to induced demand. Finally, I fear that bike lanes would just turn into on street parking which is not what we need for communities to thrive when there are lots nearby, and safe accessible transit.
