What is the addition of bike lane regulation to Bill 212 intended to distract us from?
Prevention of the installation of bike lanes or the removal of existing bike lanes is not supported by data. It creates additional red tape, which is the exact opposite of what a conservative government is supposed to do. Simply parroting a "common sense" approach is not sufficient at best and at worst, lends credence to the already dangerous driver entitlement we have on our roads thanks to a lack of enforcement and increased privilege.
I drive, I own a car. I want bike lanes - improved, more of them and none removed.
This being a distraction tactic makes sense, maybe to draw our eyes away from problems surrounding the 413. My concern there is that this anti-cycling rhetoric will embolden our dangerous drivers to not treat all road users (cyclists and pedestrians) with the necessary respect. I hope this distraction is worth the danger your government will put vulnerable road users in.
I don't like the other parties, but you've ensured one fewer vote for the OPC.
