I do not support this draconian bill that would undo all the progress we've made to make our roads safer for all users. This adds unnecessary bureaucracy to a process, that should be decentralized and adapted to the local community and its needs. Like Counciller Leiper mentions, provincial government is ill equipped to make these decisions to begin with. Not to mention its a gross over-reach for province to dictate cities on these aspects. Our cities are already far behind the standards when it comes to good, safe and well planned active use infrastructure. We should be learning from huge advancements made in this area by European and OECD members, instead of making snap judgements about these crucial policies that will set us back! There has been a lot of discussion and support against this thoughtless bill. I've added links to just some of the sources that I've come across, that explain the idiocy of this policy much better than I can.
