The proposed legislation and removal of bike lanes is proven to worsen gridlock, negatively impact economic activity, increase risk of injury and death, create more conflict with cars, amd allow more pollutants into our communities.

This legislation should be taken off the table and the government should use expert informed decision making when determining the appropriate infrastructure. Municipalities are well-equipped to conduct this work already and Provincial oversight is not required and discouraged.

I would recommend the Province actually spend more money to expand the cycling and transit network, investments that go much further than investments in car infrastructure, which are more costly and require more maintenance (due to the extreme wear and tear. Bike infrastructure just makes sense to support health, economic activity, reducing congestion, and preventing road injuries and deaths.

We love biking and would love to do it more, however, with the lack of safe infrastructure I drive places that would be easier by bike. The government should advance evidence-based infrastructure interventions as opposed to politically motivated and uninformed minority opinions.
