I am largely concerned that the proposed act will be counterproductive, encouraging more drivers on the roads and increasing gridlock. Cycling is a green, sustainable mode of transportation; however, adequate bike infrastructure, such as bike lanes, are crucial for the safety of cyclists. We should be encouraging the use of bike lanes, as opposed to removing existing bike lanes and make them harder to construct. Incentivizing the use of alternative modes of transportation, such as bike lanes, takes cars off the road and can reduce congestion, as opposed to increase it. I am also largely concerned that this act would enable the province to make retroactively make decisions on existing bike lances, undermining the democratic process of municipal governments.
