I agree with this proposal. Roads were built to move people and not cater to a handful of activists. The roads that have been changed to accommodate bike lanes are some of our major roads in Ottawa and are creating gridlock.
We have a major intersection at the corner of Donald and St Laurent that is just a mess since the removal of right turning lanes (from Donald to St Laurent). There is one lane to turn left, another to go straight or turn right, traffic just idles there since no one can turn right on a red light at this intersection. I don't travel there daily but do frequent the area a few times a month to do local shopping. I've never seen any bicycles using this expensive infrastructure.
Returning the right lane to turn onto St Laurent Boulevard would make traffic flow better and we would have less cars idling.
I'm glad the province is finally stepping in, some of these councilors are just speaking for a handful of loud activists and don't seem to realize they're suppose to represent all of their constituents not just their buddies.
