Bike infrastructure is…

Bike infrastructure is essential transportation for myself and many others. Adding red tape to the process of installing new infrastructure, and removing existing infrastructure will force me to go back to driving to work.

I cycle to work, grocery stores, and hobby/specialty shops which reduces the number of vehicles on the road.

As a transportation and traffic engineer, I disagree with the path the provincial government is taking. It adds additional wasteful steps to getting infrastructure approved, it will waste tax dollars to remove already constructed infrastructure. It is not data driven decisions... it's a waste.

This bill is clearly a vote buying strategy where it negatively effects a group of people you've assumed would never vote conservative but would help a potential group of undecided votes. It's disappointing that the cycling group is so harshly targeted and left to struggle for a policy that will ultimately make no improvements to commuting as induced demand and lack of alternative travel increases the number of vehicles such that congestion is worse.
