We are in 2024, climat change is on its way to getting worse and we need a net 0 carbon emission economy by 2030. It might be counter intuitive, but improving traffic by adding lanes is only a temporary solution because it will simply entice more people to go on the road which leads to worst traffic and increase carbon emissions. We NEED to remove cars from the road by having better public transport like buses, subway, tram, and train. Another way to eliminate cars and carbon is to use bikes. By having a safe, extensive and efficient biking network more people will be encouraged to use their bikes. We are not in the 60s anymore, we don’t need a better car network, we need a bike network. By requiring selected municipalities to ask the provincial government if they can build a better world, YOU are making it unnecessarily harder and slower. There is a reason why we have a municipal government, because THEY know what THEIR road network needs and it what they need is more and better bike lanes the provincial government should only support it because the provincial government is not a municipal expert. So the provincial government should stop back seat driving because they are on a bike and not in a car.
