I am strongly OPPOSED to this proposal. I speak as a resident and a small business owner. Adding red tape to maintaining and building bike lanes is not evidence-based approach to solving gridlock. It's upsetting to see a bill named so misleadingly.
It's fiscally irresponsible to remove existing infrastructure without proper consensus and consultation from the residents that use them and live around them. Municipalities much more able to manage projects of this scale than the province.
Let cities be cities. Not everyone has to live in a city, and not all places need to be cities. City residents have chosen to live there for access to the city amenities. This includes a plethora of diverse small businesses! Let us have this freedom of choice! Obstructing bike lane networks undermines the fundamental quality that makes city life viable: density!
