I fear that this will not provide any notable benefit unto its intended goal of reducing gridlock and rather will impact safety and mobility of those who rely on alternative modes of transportation. With the continually growing population density, gridlock is unlikely to be improved by replacing one mode of mobility with another. Additionally, without provision for alternatives, many existing bike lane users, forced to use these roads will now find themselves in much greater peril, while still causing the congestion this was intended to solve. The province should instead focus on bolstering all modes of transportation, not championing one over all. Ultimately the goal of transportation is to move people from point to point, so by providing multiple effective, safe, and reliable options (including cars) the transportation of citizens can be spread into as many pathways as possible to ensure we all get where we need to go.
