Bike lanes should be a municipal decision, not a provincial one. Locally elected officials are more than capable of deciding whether or not a bike lane should be added to some random street in a city.

Additionally in dense urban areas the provision of bike infrastructure alongside of public transportation (and removal of car infrastructure) will reduce gridlock, not vice versa.

Making urban areas more pedestrian, cyclist, and public transit-friendly will reduce fatal traffic accidents, reduce average commute times, and improve economic activity.
