I'm extremely frustrated by this proposal. When I first heard about it I thought it was a just because it was so absurd.

This proposal is not being made based on fact based evidence but rather it seems rushed through as quickly as possible.

The provincial government took an extended summer break. Upon returning this bill was one of the first announced. With the province facing so, so many urgent issues including lack of housing and a health care system that feels like it gets worse every day why is removing bike lanes and putting road users at risk such a priority?

A lot of thought and consultation has been done at a municipal level to get where we are now. This bill is a huge overreach by the province and should be dropped.

I ask the province to please consider the data that is available. And to ask the following questions before moving forward:

-Does removing bike lanes improve travel times for all commuters?
-There is information available that indicates how many people use bike lanes. How do these numbers compare to drivers on the same stretch of road.
-Is one cyclist equal to one driver?
-Do Bike Lanes make people safer?
-What data is available to prove that removing bike lanes will improve travel time for drivers?
