This bill does not make sense and I do not support it. Municipalities should be able to build infrastructure that meets their comminities' needs without the province impeding progress.
More bike lanes across the province would be a great improvement. By the province forcing upon us additional red tape, there will be greater congestion. Bikes need safe lanes separate from drivers. Currently many areas with bike lanes have reasonable traffic flow for cars as well.
The provincial government's attempt to slow progress is disturbing. Let's build up towns and communities that encourage bikes over cars. Less parking means more land available. Less cars mean quieter and healthier environment.
In addition, we should not be building more highways to reduce congestion. We should be building rail infrastructure. Europe and Asia have both shown the significant value of having a strong rail system that's accessible by all.
