This legislation is…

This legislation is addressing issues that are beyond the purview of the provincial government. Duly elected local governments have reviewed their roads and determined the best location for bike lanes to improve the safety of their citizens and increase the number of people using connected bike lanes. I note that none of the provincial considerations acknowledge the danger to cyclists who have to ride alongside motorists when no dedicated bike lanes are available. Also decisions such as removing or preventing bike lanes should be based on research not just what a group of people think. The yet to be developed criteria is another area of concern. Criteria can be skewed to achieve certain political goals always favoring cars over bikes. Consideration should be given for all citizens not just those driving cars.
