There are obvious points to be made -- bike lanes are shown to reduce congestion, weird overreach into what should be municipal jurisdiction, etc.

But beyond those points, the premier's office has made it clear that this legislation will be invoked to remove certain existing bike lanes in at least one big city. In my view, it is inevitable that with the course of time, as provincial and municipal governments turn over, bike lanes will be either reinstated where they once were, or added to other roads to effectively fulfil the same purpose as the old bike lanes. This is the natural course of things in large cities with a certain minimum level of cycling culture.

It might take a decade or so, sure. But ultimately, this legislation will result in things getting built twice at significant cost for no reason. Strange.
