I am against this proposal…

I am against this proposal as it does not accomplish its intended goal of reducing traffic but rather creates more need to use a car instead of alternative forms of transport. It is a reductive policy which will only further increase congrestion in the future, while removing other transportation options such as cycling (which are better in every other way except for time).

To create a policy like this is also an overstep of provincial jurisdiction. It should be up to the municipalities and their citizens how they choose to plan their communities. If cycling is a popular form of transport and there is interest from the community to have more infrastructure to support it, they should be able to make those choices. And they should be able to make progressive infrastructure decisions such as creating divided bike lanes which have been proven to reduce cycling fatalities and increase interest in cycling as an alternative form of transport.
