I believe the province is…

I believe the province is over stepping into municipalities discretion and decision making powers. Reducing bike lanes will not reduce traffic. Bike lanes have helped with the flow of traffic- having designated space ensures that everyone is getting to where they need to go in an efficient manner. Maybe reducing parking during rush hours on main roads would be a better option. The government should be looking at the levels of construction in all areas of municipalities and how this reduces traffic times, and ensure that construction projects are being done with efficiency and within the designated timeframe. In addition, I'm concerned of the numbers of fatalities and injuries that will occur due to a reduced amount of bike lanes on main roads. It's a dangerous decision to make, and there will blood on the hands of the province.

In a time of a climate crisis, the amount of people who are taken to riding their bike to work rather than taking the care is such a huge and positive step! I'm unsure why the government wants to encourage people to use cars for travel, and discourage people from riding their bikes.

Finally, these feels like a waste of time. The government could be using their energy and tax money to increase services for communities that are facing crisis with housing and health care. Why are you focused on bike lanes when there are so many other issues to worry about?
