Reducing Gridlock and Increasing Red Tape Act
The introductory text for Bill 212 refers to "highways" and how accidents and lane closures slow down traffic. Highways are provincial jurisdiction and it makes sense that planners avoid adding a bike lane to the 401. However, urban bike lanes in cities don't impact on "highways", they manage city traffic, keeping automobile, bicycle and pedestrian traffic safely apart within urban areas.
Bicycle lanes reduce road accidents and provide for the movement of more people safely, quickly and efficiently to their destinations in town.
Bill 212's proposal to create a new level of provincial anti-bicycle bureaucracy, to interfere with municipal decision makers and effective urban planning, is an exercise in provincial overreach and burdensome red tape.
The province should stay in its lane!
