The provincial government…

The provincial government should not be add red tape to local governments and restricting their ability to make meaningful changes to the lives withing their area.

As someone who uses bike lines almost every day, I cannot stress how integral to my mobility. They are a key piece of infrastructure that allows me to choose how I would like to traverse the city that I live in.

Separation makes everyone safer and should be one of the primary concerns. The number of cyclist related injuries and deaths is frightening and removing infrastructure will only make this issue worse. As I driver I also would rather that cyclists not be sharing the road. It slows down traffic and causes a dangerous situation, drivers often do not respect passing cyclists.

Bicycle infrastructure is only a part of the solution and removing it would be massively detrimental to the transit system as a whole. It allows people to get to transit stations and hubs leading to a more friendly transit ecosystem and overall usage.

Removing of existing bike lanes will not only be expensive and time consuming but a massive waste of funding and expertise when there are numerous other issues that the province should be focused on.
