Please review the COUNTLESS studies that have been done on how bike lanes reduce traffic congestion, increase traffic to local businesses, encourage people to find alternative methods of transportation, and contribute to healthy communities. We have enough plans and bills geared towards cars and vehicular transportation - the last thing this province needs is some other bill that seemingly prioritizes cars (although, as I mentioned, check out the COUNTLESS studies that show bike lanes are a benefit for people driving cars as well!). Instead, let's look at REAL ways to benefit our communities - like more active transportation networks, better public transit, and neighbourhoods where we don't have to rely on cars to get places. This CAN be done and instead of passing some bill that pretends to "reduce gridlock", let's think about WHY gridlock actually happens (hint: it has nothing to do with bikes).
