I am extremely opposed.
The provincial government should not be adding additional red tape and bureaucracy around the transportation infrastructure plans created by local governments; many of which have been democratically elected on platforms to boost the viability and effectiveness of these alternative transportation options.
Additionally, bike lanes support other transit transit methods by making it easier to get between stations.
I do not drive and use bike lanes every day; I consider them essential transportation infrastructure like sidewalks. We should be guaranteeing safety and providing options for vulnerable road users, instead of maximizing the number of cars which pose a threat to them. If the ability to drive an automobile is a privilege, then surely it makes more sense to invest in infrastructure that is safe and useful to almost all citizens, from children to seniors, rather than dehumanize and alienate those without the ability to drive.
