It is a shamefully…

It is a shamefully irresponsible use of public funds- taken from hardworking families who you purportedly stand for-to remove bike lanes that have already been paid for and the community has adapted to.
If you want to improve travel times and reduce congestion, the government should consider finishing any number of the infrastructure projects long past their projected completion date and improve transit.
The sources used by the transport minister for bike usage vs automobile usage are over a decade old. As congestion has worsened and the city population has grown exponentially, many people use the bike lanes daily. There is a vast array of sources that attest to the positive impact on congestion created by bike lanes. The lanes have not effected emergency response times. They have saved lives.
By this proposed legislation, it is clear that The provincial government clearly only cares about securing votes from people for low hanging fruit and not actually improving congestion or other quality of life issues.
