Please do not require…

Please do not require municipalities to request approval for new bike lanes, or request municipalities to submit information about existing bike lanes on municipal roads where an existing vehicle lane was removed. This is absurd. The province should be more worried about improving our healthcare and education systems. Having bike lanes keeps cyclists safe, reduces traffic (imagine if each of those cyclists were in a car?!), is better for the environment and the promotion of cycling as a way to commute promotes physical and mental well-being. Adding more lanes for cars is not going to help the issue of traffic/congestion. Maybe focus on helping our municipalities improve public transit.
