There's no actual evidence to say more traffic lanes can help with traffic, in fact, there's extensive evidence to the contrary— one of such evidences being that more support and space for bicycles can significanly improve car traffic by both making bikes (which are a space, fuel, and financial saving alternative) available to the wider public as a safer transportation option and also by giving pedestrians an even wider berth from cars. Bike lanes are also used by many mobility device users, specifically motorized wheelchair users, as a safer lane to move around where they do not get impeded by uneven sidewalks, construction, narrow passages, or other pedestrians, making the sidewalks often safer for non-motorized pedestians as well. Skateboarders, roller bladers, and scooter riders often also enjoy bike lanes for the same aforementioned reasons.
Bike lanes make cities safer and better for evreryone and it is extremely saddening that I have to comment on this to hopefully stop them from being ripped from us. I yearn for the day I am voting to add more bike lanes, fund more rental bikes and other non-fuel vehicles, make the bike lanes wider and add physical protective measures to ensure bike lane users cannot be harmed by motor vehicles.
Please do not take these incredibly beneficial additions to the province away from us.
