This proposal is taking a heavy handed approach to reduce the ability for municipalities to provide options for residents to get around their communities without a motor vehicle. This will add red tape to the process of building active transportation networks. The province should be supporting the development of complete active transportation networks giving residents of the province the ability to choose different means of getting around their community that suit their budgets, and lifestyles. This proposal will make our streets more congested as more people are forced to drive. It will make our streets more dangerous for those who will continue to not drive for whatever reason.

The province should not be taking a top down authoritarian approach to city planning, and trust planning professionals to work with municipalities, to design streets that meet the needs of their communities as a whole, and not just drivers.
