Bike lanes are a good thing…

Bike lanes are a good thing. We should not be removing them nor should cities be required to get provincial approval for a municipal issue. It is not the provincial government's place to micromanage municipal affairs and instead, they should focus on provincial issues such as housing and healthcare.

It is disheartening to see this government place such a focus on cars. I cannot afford a car nor do I want one. Yes, cars are a necessary form of transportation but they are also a selfish form of transportation. They take up tons of room on the street (whether driving or parking) and very often only carry one person. Biking is an efficient and cost-effective method for many. It is also better for the environment and helps provide exercise.

Why does the provincial government want to make it more difficult for people to go anywhere? Why does the government want to spend tax money on ripping out infrastructure that is completed and actively being used by thousands of people? No part of this bill makes sense. It is clear that the province is focused on making things more difficult than making things better and that is so disheartening.
