Having a separated bike lane keeps people safer, and encourages more folks to bike rather than drive, lowering traffic and greenhouse gases at the same time. With bikes in a separate lane, drivers are less likely to have to deal with problems navigating around people, and a more predictable flow of traffic can go forward. It makes no sense for the province to need to have a say on bike lanes for a particular city or town, as it's an issue of local traffic, unless they're being put on highways. Taking bike lanes out and otherwise making it harder to put them in is a backwards move.
