This proposal is at odds with progressive jurisdictions all across the globe that are working to increase alternative environmental and healthy modes of travel and reduce inefficient and hugely expensive automobile use. Accordingly many jurisdictions are including bicycle lanes on existing roads to help reduce automotive trips. These lanes can also accommodate electric scooters which are being widely promoted by the private sector. If cyclists feel safe on the roads bicycle use will to increase and help offset the need for a second family vehicle, savings families many $thousands per year.
There are many studies to support adding cycling lanes however Ontario hasn't justified its proposed bill with any rear study and should not take the people of Ontario backwards.
