Comment
I am resident of Ottawa who cycles to work every day. This act would have a negative impact on my daily commute as it would prevent the city from implementing parts of the transportation master plan, which includes necessary improvements to the inadequate bike infrastructure to the routes I use.
Bike lanes are often added in response to death and serious injury, much like the five people just last month who were killed or seriously injured by drivers in ottawa.
I would also like to add that by taking away safe and new infrastructure, the province is actively taking away my ability to choose how I get around my city. It will only become more dangerous to bike. Not everyone drives all the time to get everywhere. There needs to be safe options for people who can't or don't want to drive.
The implementation of this act only adds red tape and wastes my tax dollars. I am completely against this act.
