Fund public transit improvement initiatives, encourage work-from-home, plan future developments in a way that allows our society to move away from car dependency. The fact that a provincial government in the year 2024 is pandering to a subset of ill-informed voters by pushing legislation like this that would move our society backwards is sickening. Put the tax revenues into projects that will provide benefits for the citizens that pay them - not take those benefits away.
Bikes don't cause gridlock in cities; cars do. Bikes alleviate gridlock when the proper infrastructure is implemented. Any sane city planner or policy maker, or adult human with an ounce of critical thinking ability could tell you that. Discouraging and removing bike lanes will only put cyclists in further danger, and the blood those future injuries deaths is on your hands if you proceed with this legislation.
This is our lives and our futures that you're playing with. Quit using them as fodder for your cynical political gaming to rile up your base of supporters who, by and large, live far enough from any city to have never been remotely inconvenienced by a bike lane.
