I think it is shameful that a 'conservative' government that is supposed to care about minimizing government overreach and allowing local levels of government to make decisions based on the needs of their communities is proposing a bill such as this. These bike lanes were installed after research, consultation and deliberation by the municipities in question. Tearing them up is a waste of taxpayers money that could be better spent on things that will actually alleviate traffic congestion, such as public transport. You are the provincial government. Deal with provincial matters and let the cities make their own decisions.

Bike lanes also make commutes safer for the thousands of cyclists that commute daily on these thoroughfares. These include friends, family and neighbors whose health and safety we should all care about and prioritize.
