This bill is a ridiculous…

This bill is a ridiculous overreach of provincial government authority. This is ironic given the provincial government calls itself conservative and claims to value things like the reduction of red tape and bureaucracy. Beyond the obvious ideological incoherence of the bill, there are practical problems. First, better bike infrastructure REDUCES road congestion by reducing the number of people driving. Improving bike infrastructure and getting more people out biking keeps people healthy, lets individuals decide for themselves how they want to travel, and allows them to save money which they can put back into their local economy. Surely better health, investment in the local economy, and personal autonomy are principles that a "conservative" government would want to promote.
