In April of 2020, during the height of COVID, my wife was nearly killed while riding her bike in Ottawa, because of poor bike infrastructure. Better bike lines save lives, and a decrease in bike lanes will cost lives.
This bill will do nothing to aid congestion, which is *NOT* caused by bike lanes, but by a range of factors such as poorly executed construction, a lack of proper investment in public transit, and the need for *more and better bike lanes* in order to entice more drivers out of their cars.
The provincial government on Queen’s Park has no business interfering in the decisions of local councils about where bike lanes are an appropriate improvement.
